Review: Josie Long at The Marlowe

The political aspect was still there, bubbling under the surface -- but the political did not seem so inextricably tied in with Josie's comedic identity. The few political sketches offered the richest material, but the show was not diminished by a change of focus, only altered.

Review - Josie Long: Cara Josephine

This lady talks of growing old, but in my eyes she'll be young her whole life: she has clearly learned a lot in the past few years, but hasn't let this harden her in anyway and she remains as bright-eyed and spirited as ever.

Josie Long, Soho Theatre - comedy review

Josie Long has found a rich new seam of material -- herself. In her new show, Cara Josephine, she weaves this heart-warming tale of failed romance with quick-witted passion.

What changes when you see a show more than once?

I gave Josie Long's Cara Josephine four stars when I reviewed the show in Edinburgh and four stars in the Evening Standard and I'm not for a moment saying that it doesn't deserve all of the raves it is getting, but the interesting thing is that I have seen the full show twice now and bits of it five times - at Latitude, in Edinburgh, at the Greenwich Comedy Festival and supporting Aziz Ansari - and there were moments which I viewed differently this time round, as follows.

Review - Josie Long, Cara Josephine

Break-up shows are hardly a scarce resource in the comedy world, it being heavily populated by folk in their 20s and 30s. But you'd be hard pushed to find a better break-up show than Cara Josephine, Josie Long's latest one.
