After taking her successful Edinburgh sell out show All of the Planet’s Wonders (shown in detail) on tour, Josie is back with a delightful new, work-in-progress show.
Josie Long is unashamedly idealistic but totally confused as to how to try and change the world. This is a show about how what you do each day matters. It's also about talking to strangers, grassroots political activism and finding modern heroes. It also quite prominently features a sort-of lecture about a man who takes photographs of his breakfast each morning. There will be all kinds of silly things. Are you up for that? Of course you are, you're a cool looking bunch of dudes, come along!
Often described as a unique voice in the business, Josie is one of the most respected comedians of her generation. She creates a buzz with her obsessive and ridiculous stories, leaving audiences smitten with her innocent wonder and loveable madness.
Since supporting Stewart Lee in 2005, Josie has embarked on three solo shows, which have been about fostering curiosity and enthusiasm, self-improvement and teaching yourself as much as is possible. Josie has also written for and appeared in Channel 4's teen comedy-drama Skins since the first series as well as directing their online content.
