QUOTES -"A skilled actress, Phayre dominates the room through sheer force of personality.with energised, impish charm, she passionately describes, and mimes the reactions that news receives shrieking, like her compatriot Graham Norton, with mock-outrage at her own boldness..she's simply a force to be reckoned with." - Chortle
"Janice Phayre slim, petite, extremely impish, and shows off some of her bottom. It's the start of a blissfully funny set.as much naughtiness as she can get away with (a lot). It's all delivered from a wholly innocent-looking (though mischievous as a pixie's) face - breathlessly - with large round eyes accessorised by remarkably mobile eyebrows. Wonderful, just fabulous." - Fringe Review
Janice also hosts a monthly night in Stoke Newington called Comedy Candy.
