Quotes
"Hands down the funniest female comedian I have ever seen. A no-nonsense Yorkshire lass, Debra climbed on to the stage and was blunt and unapologetic in her approach from the offset. I would even go as far to say that Debra, along with Richard Herring, is one of my favourite comedy acts out of those who have climbed the Circle stage since Final Friday began a year ago", Worksop Guardian - Feb-2008
"razor sharp…never misses a beat", ScotsGay - Sep-2007
"a warm, charismatic standup", The List, Edinburgh - Aug-2005
"had that magical spontaneous quality to her comedy, delivering piss funny material with all the charisma of a Peter Kay. She has true funny bones and oozed laughs from her every line and her every look - one to keep a close eye on in our never ending search for comedy stars of tomorrow", Shane Allen, Commissioning Editor of Comedy at Channel 4 - Feb-2005
"intelligent and original", Leicester Mercury
"brilliant", Scotsgay Magazine
"has won a stack of awards. Go see why", ScotsGay
"Her strength is in performance, confident, punchy ", Chortle.co.uk
