Description

Everyone’s so honest about mental health nowadays. In the 90s, we were too busy talking about Britpop Getting the diagnosis has been wonderful, but also frustrating, because I haven’t been able to take medication due to being pregnant and now breastfeeding. Still, although Long’s glimpsed the darker side of humanity, that positivity shines through. I can practically feel her beaming down the phone as she tells me that “writing these short stories has been so gratifying and beautiful”. Already, her ADHD brain is craving the dopamine high she’ll get when her book hits the shelves.

In 2005 she began publishing a fanzine, Drawing Moustaches in Magazines Monthly Magazine (Bi-Monthly), which is distributed for free, and has featured contributions from Robin Ince, Kevin Eldon and Stewart Lee, as well as Danielle Ward and Isy Suttie. [6] With the giddy enthusiasm of one who can’t wait to share all her news, Long has experienced some significant changes in the last couple of years, turning 40, having her second child, moving to Glasgow and getting diagnosed with ADHD.Long's writing is characterized by her trademark humour, wit, and vulnerability. She is unafraid to share her own struggles and insecurities, and her writing is infused with a deep sense of empathy and compassion for others. Featuring the comedic voices of Mark Watson, Josie Long and Daliso Chaponda, and created by award-winning producers Steven Rajam (Tim Key and Gogol’s Overcoat) and Benjamin Partridge (Beef and Dairy Network), this is an arts documentary series like no other. We’ll see how this one goes. Maybe in the sequel, Jane Is Really Trying, she could be reading the next Sharon Osbourne book. I’ve also been thinking about writing a young adult novel or a new standup show. I’ll get summer out of the way, go to Center Parcs and we’ll see. After I remortgage the house, so we can afford Center Parcs. a b "Andrew Collins and Josie Long". BBC Radio 6 Music. 17 December 2011 . Retrieved 25 October 2012. The rampant pest infestation that overwhelms their home challenges her smug delight in her Glaswegian socialist, artisanal indie wonderland. And it forces her into some regrettable bug genocide, the true nature of her desperate cull kept from encroaching upon her daughters’ innocence. It also forced her into an upfront confrontation with an exterminator demanding to know her views on Brexit.

She appeared in the show An Audience With Dan Nightingale & Josie Long with Mancunian comic Dan Nightingale, at the Café Royal, at the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe. In 2006 she won the If.comedies Best Newcomer award at the Fringe for her show Kindness and Exuberance. In her 2007/2008 tour Trying is Good her act often involved drawing a sea scene on her arms and stomach. Long has a love of appliqué and the V&A Museum, and live Boggle contests sometimes form a part of her performances. Also in 2019 Long and Liam Williams wrote and starred in Perimeter, a dystopian play about a city divided into rich and poor areas by a giant fence. The play was broadcast as part of Radio 4's Dangerous Visions series. [25] The same year, Long also presented a new podcast for English Heritage, Speaking with Shadows; the podcast won in the 'Contribution to Heritage' category at the UK Heritage Awards. [26] [27] In 2020, Long took her show Tender on tour around the UK. [28] Because I Don't Know What You Mean and What You Don't" is a book written by Josie Long, a British comedian, writer, and actress. The book is a collection of personal essays, reflections, and musings on a variety of topics, including mental health, politics, art, and the challenges of navigating modern life. Throughout the book, Long's writing is thoughtful, insightful, and deeply relatable. She writes with honesty and authenticity that is both refreshing and inspiring, and her book is a testament to the power of humour and storytelling to help us connect with ourselves and others.Be Honourable! (stand-up show at the Edinburgh Fringe, New Zealand and Melbourne Comedy Festivals, UK tour) Josie Long is a stalwart of the UK comedy scene, performing stand-up since she was a teenager, with fans following her life via on-stage anecdotes ever since. Now that she’s a “40-year-old mother of two”, her work is as vibrant and political as ever, and she’s excited to update us on the big changes in her world: the birth of her second child, her ADHD diagnosis (and discovery that “every other comedian in the world has ADHD”), and a permanent move from London to Glasgow. I wonder out loud whether her diagnosis has taken away some of her old pride in her own uniqueness, but she disagrees. “Now, I finally understand what kind of car I’m driving,” she says. “Before, a lot of my sadness came from the fact that I thought I was driving a different kind of car that was broken. I don’t feel like the diagnosis takes away from the beauty of the good parts, and the fast, unusual connections my brain makes”. Josie Long's DJ setlist". Scared To Dance. 30 July 2012.

It’s the kind of speech that could easily have come from a media-trained left-wing politician rather than a comedian. But it’s pure Long, too, with its clear-sighted honesty influenced by her work for activism group UK Uncut.

Recent Reviews

I was about eight, about 5ft 5in tall and quite overweight. I was very aware of being big and awkward, but realised I could deflect it with laughter. I also remember the first time I made proper friends and how we’d make up silly shit together. That’s what I’m still doing now – trying to share something and laugh together.
