JOSIE LONG – BE HONORABLE
Josie Long is unashamedly idealistic but totally confused as to how to try and change the world.
This is a show about how what you do each day matters. It's also about talking to strangers, grassroots political activism and finding modern heroes. It also quite prominently features a sort-of lecture about a man who takes photographs of his breakfast each morning.
There will be all kinds of silly things. Are you up for that? Of course you are, you're a cool looking bunch of dudes, come along! Often described as a unique voice in the business, Josie is one of the most respected comedians of her generation.
She creates a buzz with her obsessive and ridiculous stories, leaving audiences smitten with her innocent wonder and loveable madness.
Tickets £10
Saturday 27th November 7.30pm

Tickets £12 / £10 concessions
