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.
Alice Bryant, InQuire, 22nd February 2015Review - 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.

Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 21st January 2015What 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.
