Josie lonG
the Future is anOther PlaCe
Josie Long is back again with her fifth solo show.
Come along! This is a show about feeling newly
tormented by the world around you and about
optimism and despair. But that sounds more
serious than it is. It’ll be a silly, manic round up
of all kinds of things. It will probably have a play
in it where I play every one of the Bronte’s too, if
that’s your bag? The show has two clear aims:
1. Fight some sort of a cool gang or something.
2. Fight injustice.
Mae’r Enwebai am Wobr Gomedi Caeredin Foster
2011, Josie Long, yn ôl gyda’i phumed sioe unigol.
Dewch draw! Mae hon yn sioe am deimlo eich
bod newydd gael eich poenydio gan y byd o’ch
cwmpas ac am optimistiaeth ac anobaith. Ond
mae hynny’n swnio’n fwy difrifol nag y mae.
Bydd yn grynodeb gwirion, manig o bob math
o bethau. Mae’n debyg y bydd drama ynddi lle
byddaf yn chwarae pob un o’r Bronte’s hefyd, os
yw hynny at eich dant. Mae gan y sioe ddau nod
clir: 1. Brwydro yn erbyn rhyw fath o gang cŵl
neu rywbeth. 2. Ymladd yn erbyn anghyfiawnder.
“Josie Long’s new show couldn’t be any better. It’s
honest, intelligent, funny, and it’s exactly what
Britain needs right now... Josie Long is poised
to become the most important voice in British
comedy” The Skinny
