Jo Caulfield

The award-winning stand-up comedian takes an irreverent look at some of her favourite books, some well-known biographies and some recent best-sellers.

From Baudelaire to Rankin, from Brontë to Bukowski, she combines literary banter, stand-up comedy and storytelling. Jo reimagines some classic literary scenes, placing herself at the centre of the action. What would Jo have done differently if she had been the stranger on Patricia Highsmith’s train, or if she’d been on the road with Jack Kerouac? And, most importantly, how would Jo Caulfield have rejected Mr Darcy’s advances?
