"Benjamin has an amazing voice; it is a powerhouse of a voice. She knows how to use a microphone and, when singing, captivates the audience with her sultry, off the wall style. Her choices of songs are interesting and the varying styles and re-workings of famous songs are imaginative and amusing...Benjamin is a talent."Broadway Baby
"Decidedly surreal...Benjamin’s characters are inventive and delightful...deeply engaging, original characters...somewhere between character comedy and performance art...undoubtedly magnificent imagination...an excellent singer"FringeGuru
"Claire Benjamin entertaining the crowd with her ‘Noel Coward meets Pussycat Dolls and Village People’ routine; somehow, that song about the Young Men’s Christian Association will never be quite the same again — proof of something rather special."Broadway Baby Review of Magic Faraway Cabaret.
"Claire Benjamin, in turn, relies on a character comedy inventory of enviable range, launching into pop parodies like an Austen-esque take on Don’t Cha. This Is Cabaret (Review of Magic Faraway Cabaret.)
Claire Benjamin is an amazing, energetic and captivating vocalist and performer, who I had the pleasure of seeing at a recent wedding, having worked with her on several occasions. She is very funny and engages with the audience effortlessly, managing to entertain the whole room and include everyone. She has a great voice, and her repertoire, is very eclectic and original, infusing her decadent love of vintage/trad jazz and Great American Songbook, masterfully arranged, with rip-roaring originals and character comedy sketches — ensuring everyone’s tastes are catered to. I highly recommend Claire Benjamin as a jazz singer to entertain you and your guests at any wedding, private party or corporate event. RORY www.rorymusic.co.uk
