 Jo Caulfield is a well known performer on
TV and radio so perhaps that given this higher profile attracted a
slightly more mature audience.
Jo on the radio and Jo as a stand up are
two different animals though . Does this make her two faced? She is
a keen observer of life and people and is not afraid to speak her
mind . Does this
make her a bitch? ‘No’ she says, ‘Just honest and right!!’
What she always has no matter the medium,
is keenly observational, well written and immaculately delivered by
this extremely funny woman.
Ms Caulfield plays to, and with, her
audience, selection potential candidates prior to the show and
interacting with then, eliciting information and opinions on
numerous issues.
She has strong opinions on a number of
things The Apprentice, the Shannon Matthews case, Russell Brand for example and her
embracing of modern technology with Sat Nav and her dabbles with Facebook and e-bay are a source of several
minutes of first class comedy.
I personally do not find Jo Two Faced, or a
bitch, just an excellent example of stand-up at its best, and a
supporter of the Fringe as a whole which cannot be a bad thing.
