Comic could be around a Long time

Josie Long
Tonight, 9.30pm, Hen & Chickens Theatre, £7, £6 (concessions), 020 7704 2001

Now is your chance to see perhaps the hottest talent on the comedy circuit currently before she grabs the attention of the mainstream and prices subsequently rocket.

Long is fast building up a reputation as the new bright hope for British comedy and her on-stage skills are impressing the big-wigs so much that she has recently picked up awards for Best Newcomer and Best Breakthrough Act.

Her talent was marked out from an early age when at just 17-years-old she was named winner of the BBC New Comedy award but was too young to accept the champagne first prize.

Here, she runs through her performance for the upcoming Edinburgh Festival.
