Hello and happy new year!
I’m sending this mailout with my month old baby asleep on my chest. I don’t send mail outs very often and I really hope you’re all doing ok after the past couple of years. Bloody hell.

I’m on a maternity break from gigging for most of this year but I wanted to pass on that if you wanted to see me do some stand up, my show Tender is now up on gumroad.com. You can stream it as an edited hour or an unedited two-part full show. Its a show about childbirth and climate anxiety, but hopefully in a silly and fun way.
Here is the link: https://josielong.gumroad.com/l/tender

I took the show to the Edinburgh fringe in 2019 and then took it on tour until March 2020, then streamed it online for free over the summer lockdowns when I couldn’t take it to international festivals.

This show was filmed in my garden, with an audience of my neighbours and some friends, and I really am proud of the chaotic and ramshackle vibe it gives off.

I’m hoping to be out on tour again later this year but honestly who knows anything anymore, so I am sending you all the best for this year regardless!

Sadly, the Melbourne Comedy Festival has been cancelled as a result of the ongoing Coronavirus situation.

This means that Josie’s show will no longer be going ahead in Melbourne.

The Full statement from the Festival is as follows;

With great sadness we must announce that following the Prime Minister’s statement about non-essential mass gatherings, the 2020 Melbourne International Comedy Festival will not go ahead.

The success of our Festival is in the way that comedy transforms our city for the inspiration and entertainment of hundreds of thousands of comedy lovers.

Our primary concern is the health and welfare of our artists and participants, staff and audiences. Cancelling the Festival is heartbreaking but the only decision possible to support the community’s efforts to slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

Ticketholders will be notified shortly regarding refunds.

We’re devastated by the news, thank everyone for their understanding and support and look forward to sharing a laugh with you again soon.

I’m doing my show in London starting next week, and then it’ll be on tour in 2020, all the info & dates are below, I hope you can come!

Josie Long is back at Soho Theatre London next week from 11th-20th November, and then on tour around the UK from January 2020 with her stellar new show direct from the Edinburgh festival, Tender – book now!

Three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and very-hard-to-pin-down-indie-underdog-nightmare Josie Long is back with a brand new show after a brief hiatus, during which she had a baby and so on.

It’s about the mind-bending intensity of new motherhood, but mostly about kindness, gentleness, and joy – all in all, the edgiest thing you will see this year. The aim is for you to come out of it feeling optimistic about the future, although that is a big ask.
At the very least there will be some really silly voices in it, and that’s not nothing.
