Cosmic Empath sees Myra DuBois questioning where her great gift for compassion comes from. Her up-bringing? Her ancestors? The COSMOS? Who can say? All we know is that with Myra’s trademark killer wit and a singing voice that’s truly like no-one else’s, it’s going to be out of this world!
“Acid tongued, funny to the bone”
TimeOut London
“This queen is hard to beat, she has a sassy line about everything”
Chortle
