2006 Edinburgh Newcomer Award Winner Josie Long’s 2010 show (one of five shortlisted yesterday (25th August) for the 2010 Edinburgh Comedy Award). She writes:
“BE HONOURABLE! I plan on making this show excellent. ARE YOU IN?
A Ramshackle Call to Arms about Politics, Complacency, this man I met one time, imaginary father figures and breakfasting…
*Something for everyone*”
Good news for people who like Josie Long: Josie Long is back with a new show after a year’s break. It should be a lot of fun. Are you a fan of breakfast-based humour? Nye Bevan? What about tired looking women from Kent? If so, I can fully guarantee that this show is perfectly tailored to suit your comedy needs.
Josie Long is a remarkable and unusual comedian. This show will be the best one yet.
You can see lots of Josie on Youtube, like this bit…

Josie Long returns with a tremendous show that’s warming like her porridge fetish and passionate like her political convictions **** (The Scotsman).

Long’s enthusiasm is her trademark and it is one of the most delightful things about this show. ***** (Fringe Guru)
Long has always had ebullience and charm: with this wise, clever and utterly delightful show she proves that she can back all of this up with comedic maturity. ***** (Three Weeks)

AND KETTERING’S OWN JAMES ACASTER
James is a rapidly rising star of the British Comedy scene, an engaging storyteller with a naturally comedic physicality and manner. He effortlessly gets audiences on his side and keeps them there. Bottom line: he’s funny. He just is.
As reviews website Broadway Baby puts it: James’ “gauche physicality is inherently funny, a trait he knows how to use to maximum effect; the merest gesture can have the audience laughing out loud. Not that this anything as simple as a slapstick act; his material is extremely strong, and he is able to blend his anecdotes with some excellent improvisational moments.”
