Josie Long: Now Is The Time of the Monsters
Comedy
Event organiser:
Leeds Heritage Theatres - City Varieties

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

In these troubled times, in this wicked world, it can feel like the apocalypse is everywhere but did you know that 11,000 years ago there were some really big armadillos? I’m talking about as big as a car. Really big. And they were vegetarian so don’t even worry about them. Also, my daughter has a hamster and I’m not saying distract yourself from everything, but I’m saying he’s also part of everything.

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.
