Jojo Sutherland says goodbye to a permanent abode
Jojo Sutherland, who has called South Queensferry her home since 1995, will say goodbye to a permanent abode as she leaves on "an exciting adventure to nowhere".
The stand-up has announced that she will give up her house in the picturesque Scottish town tomorrow (Friday 30th September) to head out on a permanent traveling adventure.
She will eventually live in a motorhome, touring comedy venues around the UK. But first, she's off to stay with friends and family in Edinburgh, Manchester and London, as well as appearing at the Aberdeen Comedy Festival and Galway Comedy Festival.
The host of the Be Honest podcast will then head to Australia to perform at the Perth Fringe Festival (20th January - 19th February), Adelaide Comedy Festival (17th February - 19th March 2023) and the Melbourne Comedy Festival (29th March - 23rd April) before returning to Scotland to continue her travels in a newly acquired motorhome.
She explains: "There has never been a better time to change the way I live. I've been telling people for months that I'm off to live in a motorhome, and I couldn't be more excited. I'm single for the first time in 30 years, all my kids have left home and I am doing the job I love all over the UK.
"Instead of travelling to cities to then come back home, I can always be on the move forward.
"Obviously South Queensferry will always have a place in my heart, and I can't wait to bring the motorhome here next summer. This is the place that I was able to bring life into the world, and also say goodbye to my Mum and Dad.
"The town even waited until my youngest child had gone to High School before they knocked it down!
"It has been the home of births, deaths, my own near death experience when I had a brain haemorrhage as well as marriages and divorces. It'll be quite the wrench to leave, but off I go on my adventure to nowhere. No matter what, I'll always be moving forward - first stop Manchester."
