Author: JoJo Smith

In the last two decades, JoJo has gone from open spot to late night TV personality, from global fame on the Internet to international comedy performer, not bad going for someone who until then had never stood on a stage in her life. International performances include sold out tours of Europe, South Africa, Sri Lanka, India, Australia, Cambodia, Thailand, The Philippines, China and the UAE. Last summer, at the grand old age of 55 and with 23 years' performing under her belt, JoJo made her solo Edinburgh Fringe debut with the short run of an autobiographical show entitled I Was Mick Jones' Bank Clerk. Ten sold out shows proved it was worth the wait. So inspired was she that August 2017 sees her doing a full Edinburgh Fringe run with a brand new show 'I was the ninth Dexys Midnight Runner: Ten True Tales'. This can be seen as part of the Laughing Horse Free Festival at Cabaret Voltaire, 38 Blair Street Edinburgh, 3-26 August (not Tuesdays) at 6.30pm.
