Josie Long: Something Better

This is a show about optimism and hopefulness and about looking for people and things to look up to. It’s about wanting more from life than it might be up for giving out.

I’m 34, I wanted to have kids by now, and be in love, and have a country that didn’t vote with the far right parties. I thought we would have won by now. And I wanted to be taller and better looking.

Following the international sell-out success of her previous show Cara Josephine, the star of BBC Radio 4’s Romance and Adventure, All of the Planet’s Wonders and presenter of Shortcuts, offers up her eighth solo stand-up show.
