Unique and genuine, hilarious and entertaining.” June Collins for Australian Arts Review "We watch the comic actress’s flawless timing in presenting a woman’s transformation from awkward teenager to afflicted menopausal middle-aged woman to old woman still up to her elbows in housework, while her husband makes it to ‘retired.’ ...So many heartwarming stories in this show…The monologues are well-written and, as a performer,  Katrina Mathers has great comic timing. Her versatility in changing from one character to another is wonderful to watch... ” Dr Josey De Rossi for The Scoop “Honest, funny, and "excellent”. The monologues are genuinely compelling - sharp and sincere... so appealing... wholesome and honest.. mix of chaos, resilience, and raw honesty - a knowing, grounded and self-aware show.” Vivien Lynch for It’s on the House "Her tales are told with the rhythm of someone who's thinking out loud a bit, getting sidetracked, doubling back and then landing a sharp punchline... it is expertly controlled by Mathers.” Caroline Duncan for Melbourning “The chief asset of Anything But the Dyson is Katrina Mathers herself.  The material is good, and she makes it work via charm, energy, comic timing… she has the ability to transform herself, with a minimum of gestures, into other characters…. vibrant, very engaging performance… a cracking pace and plenty of light and shade” Michael Brindley, Stage Whispers "Mathers’ words and excellent presentation… are funny, entertaining and relatable... Her excellent acting and comic ability come to the fore... (and) given the laughter of the men in the audience on opening night, it’s not a show just for women.” Jenny Burns for Travels with JB "Mathers’ first show in 23 years, but you would not know it. She is completely at ease on stage, slipping seamlessly into character and impressions of doctors and newsreaders, with a confidence that suggests she has never been away.....perceptive.... warm, funny and moving performance, balancing candid comedy with scenes of genuine tenderness...beautifully realised."
