“engaging and funny” (Three Weeks)
”One of the most naturally talented comedians I have worked with, brilliant timing, warm and funny”. (Sally Holloway)
“On a strong recommendation from another promoter I booked Maureen unseen to headline my Retort Cabaret show. She didn’t let me down, and a previously cool audience immediately warmed to her conversational style. One of the other acts booked her after the show to compere their gig the following week and I too have re-booked her to compere another show in the autumn. I’ve since seen her at a much larger gig at Birmingham Glee Club and she was equally funny and comfortable on a big stage.” (BrettRehling, Retort Cabaret Show, Birmingham)

“I felt like I’d learnt something as well as being entertained by comedians Paul MacCaffrey, Gavin Hammer and especially Maureen Younger.” (Alexis Wood – BBC Southern Counties Website)
