Josie Long: Now is the Time of Monsters

About Josie Long: Now is the Time of Monsters
A brand-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 the apocalypse is everywhere. But did you know that 11,000 years ago, there were armadillos the size of cars? Really big. And they were vegetarian, so don’t even worry about them. Also, my daughter has a hamster.
Josie takes to our stage with a show about discovery, wonder, extinction, and how to navigate a landscape of monstrous disaster. Plus, at least one genuinely useful tip about silt, guaranteed.
