Josie Long

Now Is The Time Of Monsters

  • United Kingdom

A new show about extinct, gigantic, charismatic, megafauna from three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, and very good comedian Josie Long.

In these troubled times, in this wicked world, it can feel like apocalypse is everywhere, but did you know 11,000 years ago there were some really big armadillos? Josie is back with a new show about discovery, wonder, extinction and how to walk through a landscape of monstrous disaster. There is also a good tip about silt, guaranteed.

Josie Long is a three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and the creator of multiple acclaimed stand-up shows and BBC Radio 4 series. She has appeared on Live at the Apollo (ABC), 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4) and Have I Got News for You’ (BBC). Following sell-out seasons at the Edinburgh Fringe and across the UK, she brings this celebrated new show to Australian audiences.

'If stand-up shows can be known to punch down, then [Josie] buoys us all up.' ★★★★★ The Skinny (UK)

'Wild-firing imagination.' ★★★★ The Guardian (UK)

'One of her best shows to date.' ★★★★ The Telegraph (UK)

★★★★ Chortle (UK)

Suitable for audiences 15+
