It can be argued that Little Miss Jocelyn is an overall sucess regarding the extent to which her characters are unique and original. Out of all of her characters my favourite is the toliet attendant, a character in which she illustrated her talents to the full.
Over the last couple of years many new sketch shows have made it on to British television including Little Britain, Catherine Tate, etc, all of which are brilliant and unique in their own way, but Little Miss Jocelyn has something which makes her work different from the rest
Well worth watching

I'm in love with Jocelyn Jee-Esien!
Really can't understand why the show never quite took off and never got the attention and acclaim it deserves. Unlike 3 Non Blondes this seemed to pass under the radar. A shame really as Jocelyn is a true talent and deserves to be up there with Lucas & Walliams and Catherine Tate and their charachter sketch-making ilk. She should've been up for a Comedy Award or two for sure but I can't see them ever letting her quite fit in. I'm sure if she were a middle-class white male comic who went to Uni, made geeky references to Star Wars and smarmy references to politics, pretended to be a Cockney and had her face in the celebrity rags all the time she'd be more accepted or would be seen as more "cool" to like. But she shouldn't have to.
Most of the creative team (director, producer, make-up...etc) worked on Little Britain. Maybe they should've milked that factor to get more publicity. If you're a fan of Little Britain this show should be up your street. She's basically a black, female, one-woman version of it with a great supporting cast.
I really hope this gets picked up for another series or that Jocelyn gets another vehicle to expose her to a wider public. She's a true one-off. Wonderful idiosyncracies, observations and her facial expressions and contortions are genius.
In the same way that "Yeh but, no but" and "Bovered!" became catchphrases aped by the public I think that adding "Ohhhh" at the end of sentences should become a thing too!
Buy it!

This show is excellent, stumbled on to it quite literally as i have never seen 3 non blondes (thought they were a band :-) anyways Jocelyn has all the talent to take away Lenny Henry's crown of being top british black comic and that's saying something. The ease of which she can move from African to West Indian characters mixed in with the British urban environment e.g the Nigerian bus driver who suddenly adds cockney ryhming slang just has to be seen. There are also some skecthes from Jiffy the traffic warden, Sharonista the school girl and Gladys who hates men. The US president is also a hoot.

Stick with 3 non blondes
Her show did make me laugh at least twice an episode (when i watched them on the BBC) but it in no way lived up to how funny '3 Non Blondes' was. Read more

Great Laugh!!!
This show is one of the most funny i have seen in a while. A series of various charaters are portrayed by little miss jocelyn all of which are very humorous. Read more

Hate grows stronger
This is rubbish. If you're amused by people with stupid big teeth then you'll like this. Otherwise avoid.

please no series two
This is abysmal. One reviewer has suggested that if she were a middle-class white male comic she would have receive more plaudits - had she been those things, the reality is that... Read more

Little Miss Waste of Time
This is without the worst new 'comedy' BBC has offered us in quite a while. As if '3 Non-Blondes' wasn't bad enough they then commissioned this crap. Nothing about it is funny. Read more
