Josie Long in Cara Josephine review

As it stands, it's good bang for buck, material wise. Long's layering of highbrow culture on what is essentially a familiar human condition yields a balanced blend of academic intellect and general emotion.

Review: Josie Long's Cara Josephine

On the night I saw the show there were plenty of first-timers in her audience. It's likely Long can now count them among her fans.

Interview: Josie Long finds love in a fun climate

Josie Long jumps with recognition when I tell her about my friend who, when alone in his open-plan kitchen, pretends to be a TV chef performing for an imaginary audience in the lounge.

James Acaster review: Deadpan bordering on the absurd

You could loosely align James Acaster with the dorky comedy of say Josie Long, but where she's bookish and sweet his particular brand of deadpan often borders on the absurd. He's brilliant off the cuff, too.

Josie Long's not just jokes

Review: Josie Long, Cara Josephine

Josie Long hit up Manchester's Saturday afternoon crowd with discreet DJing at Gorilla, yelling out a pre-gig 'cup of Earl Grey and I'm ready for the matinee' holler and acting as the least aggressive hype man the North West has ever seen.

Interview: Josie Long on her new show Cara Josephine

Josie Long interview

Now at the ripe old age of 32, Josie Long is something of a comedy veteran, having started performing as a stand-up aged just 14 and winning the BBC New Comedy Award at 17.

Steve Haines, Nottingham Post, 25th February 2015

Interview: Josie Long

Josie Long has a policy not to read reviews. But when it comes to her latest show, Cara Josephine, I really think she should make an exception.
