“Bep's performance work is as impressive as their work on the page, that's such a great double gift to have, nobody is doing what Bep is."
- Fiona Sampson
"Bep's poems are rich in detail and full of life, you never know if you're on the verge of tears or about to burst out laughing. Bep performs with their entire body, the audience receives a magnetic performance that conjures memory through vivid description and a dark comedic tone."
- from a review in LeftLion
"Bep's energy and bubbly personality are a breath of fresh air, we've never had such great feedback from an audience."
