Add to your event list
'The Funny Thing About Death' is an hilarious memoir of two unconventional girls growing up in the 1970s. They didn’t fit in at the Air Force bases they were raised on or the strict convent boarding school they were sent to. The Air Force was obsessed with communists and the nuns were obsessed with the Virgin Mary, neither of which was of interest to Jo or Annie.
Like her stand-up, Jo Caulfield’s caustic wit and razor-sharp observations make her account of life with, and without her big sister, even in the worst of times, as entertaining as it is touching and relatable.
Audiences also get to know and enjoy Jo’s sister Annie, Annie was a writer and a big influence on Jo’s life.
She talks with hilarious honesty about the shared experience of grief. There will be a Q&A section at the end which is particularly special given the subject matter. We are now, most of us, in the grief club and know that it is part of life and also what a great comfort it is to laugh and share with other members of the club.
Comedian Jo Caulfield has appeared on TV shows such as Have I Got News For You, The Royal Variety Performance and was a winner of Richard Osman’s House of Games. (She didn’t know she was that competitive).

Dubbed 'funniest woman in Britain', she lives up to the title with razor-sharp wit, acerbic observations and scandalous one-liners, all excellently written and impeccably delivered. 'Cut-throat wit and a razor-sharp tongue...Sharp-witted, urban comedy that goes down a treat. Like a sociology textbook, but with jokes' (The Times). 'Incapable of doing a bad show, so sharp is her tongue and so in tandem is it with her mischievous mind' (The Scotsman). 'Feisty, funny and wonderfully bitchy... one of the finest female comics' (The Observer).
