The Liverpudlian was not short of support on her inaugural performance, as author Giovanni Fletcher and former BBC newsreader Emily Maitlis were among those hitting the West End to watch her. 

Giovanni, 37, wore an eye-catching red jumper underneath a white shirt, while Emily, 51, wrapped up in a pastel blue coat.

The Daily Mail’s Patrick Marmion awarded her ‘ferocious yet forensic performance’ a strong four stars out of five.   

He wrote: ‘Comer blows us away in a ferocious yet forensic performance that’s related in a blizzard of quickly shifting perspectives. She gets us onside as the high-flying barrister with her native Liverpool accent and anti-Establishment attitude – at one point tossing rubbish into the audience. 

‘But her abrupt disintegration into fevered, ashen-faced confusion is seriously distressing. Although her performance runs a stunning gamut from cocky joy to despair and humiliation, it’s the subject matter that dominates the evening.’
