It is the offbeat observation, the incisive knack of showing up everyday events for the ludicrous pantomimes they really are that separate the women from the girls. In this department Rachel Berger is a real Star…

THE GUARDIAN, London

Rachel had our guests hooked within moments. She MC’d the event with a deft touch, displaying an emotional range that could be raw and honest one moment and achingly acerbic and funny the next. Our guests couldn’t wait to tell us how amazing Rachel was. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Rachel for her considerable skills and can’t wait to have her back again.

Barry Harvey AM, Chair Brimbank Community Fund Advisory Committee:

I loved how you were able to include the issues of family violence into the evening in a way that was respectful, real, fun, brave & authentic as well as including people’s reflections of the day. Despite you feeling under the weather, you were fabulous. What I would like to say to you is that your bravery in speaking in public is inspiring for people like me who find it intimidating & the role you play in speaking out is so valued and more important than you will ever know, we need more like you!
