JO CAULFIELD: WON’T SHUT UP!

Dating Advice – “On my 16th birthday my strict Catholic mother told me, ‘When you go out with boys, whatever happens don’t let him touch you below the waist’. Luckily I’d learnt how to do handstands by then.”

Mothers – “I sometimes worry I’m turning into my mother. Which is both good and bad. On the down side she’s a judgemental narrow-minded emotionally stunted old bat. But on the upside she’s got no mortgage.”

Married Life – “When you send your partner out shopping, do you ever put a couple of items on the list that don’t actually exist just to keep him out of the house a bit longer?”

Kate Moss – “Kate Moss has said she’s doing another range of outfits for Topshop, which I’m delighted about. For years I’ve wanted to dress like a scrawny, promiscuous ex cokehead but there just hasn’t been the right choice of clothes around.”

The Recession – “I think the recession’s going to split up a lot of couples. Look at the house prices – If your partner’s parent’s house is only worth half as much as a year ago is it still really worth hanging around?” 

JO CAULFIELD – PRESS QUOTES

 ‘Jo Caulfield is the sort of female stand-up who makes you feel better about female stand-up. Many of the points she makes about the human condition would have sociologists stroking their beards in admiration, but her audiences tend to be laughing too much to notice’ THE TIMES

‘Jo Caulfield is at the top of her game. There is an acerbic intelligence underlying Caulfield’s best material that accounts for her popularity with audiences. She is one of the most consummate stand-ups in the business, and one of the most consistently funny’ SCOTSGAY
