Comedy Festival review: Bumbshell, Amanda Kennedy 12 May, 2021 02:24 AM 3 minutes to read By: Ethan Sills Many will know Amanda Kennedy as one half of the hugely successful musical comedy duo The Fan Brigade. Yet fans coming along to her debut solo show and expecting the RSA song on loop for 60 minutes will be in for a surprise. Aside from one song at the end, Kennedy has left the ukulele behind for a straight hour of stand-up in what may be one of the filthiest and funniest hours of the festival. Bumbshell is all about Kennedy's "white trash" family – or, at least it was before they all found out and decided to come along to the show. Some in the crowd on opening night were addressed by name, and it felt like Kennedy had some hesitancy about going fully in on her family right in front of them in the Sweat Shop's very intimate back room.
