After Dinner SpeakersBest-known for her legendary one-woman shows, Jo Caulfield is “one of the finest female comics at work” (The Observer) and has been nominated as “the best female Stand-Up in the country” (Chortle.co.uk).
Jo was born in Wales to Irish parents and brought up in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. She grew up believing the East Midlands was her oyster.
Aged 17, Jo left home and moved to London to sing and play drums in a Rockabilly band. This was an unusual decision as Jo can neither sing nor play drums.
“Many of the points Jo Caulfield makes about the human condition would have sociologists stroking their beards in admiration, but her audience tend to be laughing too much to notice. Do not miss her.”
