Francesca Martinez, Tivoli Theatre, Wimborne
I'VE discovered I like nothing better than laughing at disabled people.
Trouble is that for many years it has been socially unacceptable.
Well it's not. Not if the self-proclaimed "wobbly" comedienne is Francesca Martinez.
She's got CP (cerebral palsy) and she's not afraid to use it.
She's cute, very astute and very funny too. And suddenly it seems fine to be laughing at disability.
Like the fact that blind people are being encouraged to go hunting in the USA - everyone has the right to kill.
Her sketch about a doctor having to break the news to a mum-to-be that her child carries the Tory politician gene is hilarious. (Will he have to go to a special school? I'm afraid so - Eton or Westminster).
Her definition of class: You're working class if your mum gives you Coca Cola for breakfast, middle class if you know someone who owns a boat and upper class if your great grandfather sent millions to their deaths in the First World War and was knighted for it.
She is top class comedy.
