Jayde Adams: Jayde 31

Adams at first appears to be bold, brassy and sassy, playfully berating her largely male front row from the off. You wouldn't dare mess. But by the end of the show Adams has shown such a vulnerable side that many pause to hug her on the way out.

Jayde 31 sees Adams coming to terms with a momentous event in her life and attempting to regain the confidence it has knocked. Adams balances the deeply sad event, which reduces her to real tears on stage, with the joyous and teasing humour well. As well as the catharsis there's plenty of light-hearted fun to be found here too. She relays the story of her upbringing in a no nonsense West Country working-class family, as well as her striking visual similarity and obsession with the singer Adele (hence the Adele album title nod in her show name).

There are some great set pieces here too to punctuate the straight standup. Adams takes to expressive dance to recreate the freestyle dance classes her and her sister used to take as children, the way she actually lost her virginity and the way she would have rather it happened. Plus Adams lip syncing a phone call in which her mum is talking about a visit from a mysterious gypsy is simple but hilarious and there's a little unexpected treat for us at the end.

This is a show to be proud of – Adams is definitely one to watch.
