Josie Long: Now Is The Time Of Monsters
Josie Long is back with a new show about discovery, wonder, extinction and how to walk through a landscape of monstrous disaster. Catch her at the Tolbooth Stirling on Saturday 13th September!
About Josie Long: Now Is The Time Of Monsters
A new show about extinct gigantic, charismatic, megafauna from 3-time Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominated Comedian, and very good comedian Josie Long.
In these troubled times, in this wicked world, it can feel like apocalypse is everywhere but did you know 11,000 years ago there were some really big armadillos? I’m talking about as big as a car. Really big. And they were vegetarian so don’t even worry about them. Also my daughter has a hamster and I’m not saying distract yourself from everything, but I’m saying he’s also part of everything. Josie is back with a new show about discovery, wonder, extinction and how to walk through a landscape of monstrous disaster. There is also a good tip about silt, guaranteed.
***** The Skinny “If stand-up shows can be known to punch down, then [Josie] buoys us all up.”
**** Guardian “wild-firing imagination”
