Maxine Wade

With blue hair and head-to-toe in leopard print, Maxine Wade certainly cuts a distinctive figure on stage, part Bet Lynch, part Just Stop Oil protester by her own description. Indeed much of her set can be surmised as ‘what am I like?!’, from those bold fashion choices to the lack of decorum in her day job as a nurse.

Like many in the medical profession, she has a dark sense of humour and isn’t coy when talking about topics such as porn – which an amusing notion of why Yorkshire accents like hers are rarely heard in that genre. She’s full of vim and energy, if not, perhaps, discipline, with a set that pinballs around both in material and style – a scattergun approach that never quite gets a bullseye.
