Described by The Observer as “one of the finest female comedians at work” and by The Scotsman as “quite simply, a damn funny woman” Jo can regularly be seen headlining the UK’s biggest and best comedy clubs. She is also in high demand on the corporate circuit, speaking at and hosting dinners and award ceremonies for many leading companies across the UK and beyond. In 2018 she won the “SG Fringe Stand-Up Comedy Award” and gained critical acclaim for her performance as Helena Brandt in the sell-out Fringe run of the play, Brexit. In 2022 Jo was voted “The Comedians Comedian of The Year” –an award voted for by her peers and members of the comedy industry. Behind the scenes Jo is a respected comedy writer, having served as a writer / programme consultant on all five series of Graham Norton’s BAFTA Award winning “So Graham Norton” and as head writer on both Ruby Wax’s “Waiting Game” and Zoe Ball’s “Strictly Dance Fever”. Jo has also written for –among others –Joan Rivers, Ant & Dec and Anne Robinson. She has had several of her own shows on Radio 4: “It’s That Jo Caulfield Again”, “Jo Caulfield Won’t Shut Up”, “Jo Caulfield’s Speakeasy” and “The Jo Caulfield Stand-Up Special”. Being a huge football fan Jo has appeared on both “Fighting Talk” (Radio 5) and “On The Ball” (Radio Scotland). She has appeared on BBC Scotland’s “Debate Night” and is a regular guest on Times Radio, giving her take on the news and political events.
"Ranked amongst the top ten stand-ups in Britain by The Independent, Ian Stone is one of the most talented topical acts and comperes in the country. Edgy and provocative, with an easy-going manner and self-depreciating style, Ian is at great ease bantering with an audience. He received a nomination in 2012 for the BEST SHOW at the Leicester Comedy Festival. His Edinburgh festival show in 2022 Righter of Wrongs played to sold out audiences for the entire run and his 2023 show Ian Stone Will Make it Better won a Spirit of the Fringe award. He'll be back in Edinburgh in 2024 with a brand new show Ian Stone is Keeping it Together prior to taking it out on his first national tour.
He has performed all over the world including Comedy Festivals in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Africa, Holland, France, Ireland and Germany. He’s entertained the troops in Kuwait, Bosnia,Kosovo, Cyprus and Afghanistan. He was the first British stand-up to perform in Moscow and the first performer to appear for The Comedy Store in Mumbai".
