JOSIE LONG: Be Honourable



Be Honourable! is about trying to be a saint, strangers, politics, complacency and breakfast. The show's aim is to provoke people into changing the world. If you like breakfast, but not the idea of the rest, you'll be pleased to know that the breakfast bit is at the start, freeing up the second half for your own private thoughts. Josie is earnest and full of optimism. It's a ramshackle call-to-arms.

This show also features performances by Claudia O'Doherty and Maeve Higgins

Claudia O'Doherty is from Australia.  She won Best Comedy at the 2009 Melbourne Fringe Festival and Best Newcomer at the 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Her first book '100 Facts About Pandas' is coming out in the United States of America on the 28th of September. The book contains zero facts about pandas.

Maeve Higgins is a real piece of work. She tricks people into believing she's a comedian by telling them true things that she thinks and does! How does she get away with it? Come and see for yourself why don't you!?
