Josie Long, Pictish Trail

Three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and cult optimist is back on the road early next year with her most personal show to date about love, family and being as outdoorsy as a bear.

In her seventh nationwide tour and with a new niece in the picture, Josie reflects on her own childhood and the resilience of an older sister. She had never really truly known heartbreak until now, and she is using this experience to change her ways; to be more patient, to work out what she really wants and to become a better person. This is truly her most heartfelt, honest and revealing material, but don't fret - Nigel Farage and Nick Clegg still get a mention...

Cara Josephine was the overall best-reviewed comedy show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2014.

'A passion for ideas and creativity... this is a lovely show' (The Guardian).
