AWARD-winning stand-up comedian Jo Caulfield is coming to Andover, bringing the laughs.

Voted Comedians’ Comedian of The Year 2022, Jo is instantly recognisable thanks to her numerous appearances on TV shows including Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You, The John Bishop Show, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, The Royal Variety Performance, and Richard Osman's House of Games.

Nominated as the Best Female Stand Up in the Country (Chortle) and One of the Top 100 Comedians (Channel 4), Jo is bringing her new tour show, Here Comes Trouble to The Lights on Saturday, February 3.

Here Comes Trouble is a solid 90 minutes of razor-sharp observations and scandalous one-liners, as Jo gets her claws into everything (and everyone) that annoys her. From stories about arguing with strangers on trains and dealing with over-enthusiastic supermarket staff to trying to recapture the magic in a long-term relationship and “helping” a newly divorced friend get back into the dating game, this is pure stand-up, delivered with nothing more than a microphone and a bad attitude.

Speaking about her tour, Jo said: “My tour show is a collection of my favourite jokes from my last three Edinburgh Fringe shows and some brand-new material about what I’ve been up to since I was last on the road, so I think it’s going to be a lot of fun to get out there and tell these stories, and generally talk about everything that’s happened – and everything that’s currently annoying me. It’s my celebration of anger."

Jo admits she was spoilt for choice when it came to choosing material when putting her tour show together.

She continued:  “It’s been really difficult getting the show down to just an hour and a half because so much has happened since my last tour, and I want to cover it all. I moved house, I wrote a book, and I won a comedy award. I’ve never been so busy." 

This year was a particularly busy year for Jo, as in addition to her sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run and the new tour, her debut book, The Funny Thing About Death (published by Birlinn Polygon) was published in August.
