Josie Long has spent years shrugging off her reputation as the queen of quirk with a series of passionate, angry but ultimately optimistic political shows. It’s done her good, too – two of them received Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award nominations.
2014 show 'Cara Josephine' was another change of tack: a heartfelt, introspective piece of stand-up about break-ups, family and romantic ideals, that garnered rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe. New show 'Something Better' is a mix of introspection and optimism, silliness (look out for the push-button shower bit) and political inspiration (Long's been busy interviewing activists about what they do and why). Don't miss it, comrades.
