"A unique and utterly compelling performer. With wit and charm, she manages to make us laugh in the face of adversity." - Matt Fenton, Artistic Director, Contact Theatre; "Jackie Hagan boldly goes where no one even knows it's possible to go. Then gets the bus back home eating chips on the top deck."- Jo Warburton, poet; "Heartfelt, hilarious and slightly eccentric." - The Skinny; "If Jackie is available to run a workshop for you, book her - she's brilliant, creative, inclusive, inspiring, compassionate and inventive. In twenty years I can't say I've known anyone run better workshops." - Pete Kalu, Artistic Director, Commonword; "A powerful story told with wit... without a trace of self-pity." - Manchester Theatre Awards; "Poetic, playful [and] psychologically astute." - Sabotage Reviews
