My Take
Julia Davis is, to me, one of Britain's bravest comic minds. Across Nighty Night, Hunderby, and Sally4Ever, she writes and plays monstrous women with a glee that makes you laugh and squirm in the same breath. Black comedy this committed only works when the performer has both nerve and genuine intelligence, and she has a surplus of both. What I find most striking is how completely she owns the darkest corners of the genre, territory many performers tiptoe around. She doesn't flinch, and that fearlessness is precisely why her work lingers long after the discomfort fades.
