Advantages appearance, funny, length, adorable

Disadvantages Not too cheap

For twelve years now there has been one TV show which has stuck right by my side: Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Along with my love for the show came my extreme appreciation for the main cast members, one of these lovelies being Caroline Rhea.

Caroline may be most famous for her role as Aunt Hilda in the hit TV show, but she is actually a well known comedienne too. I used to spend hours watching clips of her performances online, and I've also been fortunate enough to have seen her twice live now. Now I can also enjoy her 'What is it you Can't Face?' CD too!

The CD cover itself is incredibly beautiful - very stripey and brightly coloured with a gorgeous image of Caroline wearing a black and pink dress on the front. The track listing is on the back, indicating that the CD contains a total of fourteen tracks.

Now do not think of these as individual tracks, as this runs smoothly throughout. It is actually a recording of a gig she did in Nashville a good six years or so ago (post Sabrina). It flows beautifully, from her opening line right to her mega applause at the end from the audience!

The forty five minute performance sees Caroline covering a variety of topics. Now the 'Parental Advisory' label on the front does suggest that this is not for a younger audience, warning you before you listen. It is clear why this label is there once you do listen!

There's something you need to know about Caroline - she holds nothing back, she's very open! She talks about giving head to a bald man, as well as being Captain of the Virginity Team at school. She shares stories about ex boyfriends, and spoils us with an array of accent attempts.

She also does my favourite joke - the 'What is it you can't face?' joke which is all about Sound of Music! In fact, it's so good that the very joke has titled the CD too! It's amazing hearing it, just as much as it is seeing it live!

Not only is Caroline hilariously funny, but she is also majorly cute! You'll find that she laughs to herself before she even reaches the punchline! She does point this fact out, so it's not as if she's oblivious to it. It's ery sweet and makes the routine all the more enjoyable!

It's also very comforting to just plug your headphones in and spend forty five minutes with Caroline. It's a great way to spend time when on a walk or on your own - it makes you feel not alone and it also gives you a good laugh. What more could you ask?

Well, a better pirce might be nice! This could cost you between £15 - £20 on Amazon.co.uk, which is a lot! Granted, it's definitely worth it, but it's not as if I could buy ten copies or anything (which I'd like!). You can check eBay.com to see if you can grab a good deal, but this is not something which happens often!

It is definitely worth checking out, whether you are already a fan of Caroline or are looking for a new comedienne to dote upon! I listen to it often and absolutely love it!
