Jo's trademark character observations, astute social commentary and songs have established her as one of the UK's finest character comediennes.

The audience weren’t just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage.” Huffington Post “On flights of fancy, he pushes ideas to extremes and displays a crackling, spontaneous energy in which we’re swept up.” Fest
