"After defeat, re-enchantment is necessary", said Lola Olufemi.
This thought inspires Josie Long’s brand-new hour of stand-up infused with humanity, compassion and probably some brief political rants.
The triple Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, underdog Fringe hero and delirious new mother (the first person to have two babies) returns with a show about the changes wrought by time, passion, moving to Scotland and loving the world under – let’s face it – difficult circumstances.
