Josie Long: Tender
Three time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Josie Long is back with her most critically-acclaimed show to date
After a brief hiatus, during which she had a baby, started bringing the baby up, and found herself in the middle of a global pandemic with quite a few questions.
How do you bring someone into a world which people kept telling you was ending even before 2020 happened, and where our day-to-day reality is now baffling enough for an adult, let alone a baby? This show is about the mind-bending intensity of new motherhood (in, and out of, a pandemic) - but mostly about kindness, gentleness, and joy. The aim, even though it sounds like a big ask, is for you to come out of it feeling optimistic for the future. At the very least, there are some funny voices in it, and that's not nothing.
