Josie Long has announced a run of shows in London this autumn for her new show, Something Better.

Long will be appearing at the Soho Theatre from September 30 - October 15.

This wil be Long's eighth solo show. It follows the success of her previous show Cara Josephine across the UK, Europe, in Australia and New York and the recent broadcast of her Radio 4 series Romance and Adventure.

In Something Better Long takes a look at her life and the world around her. It is "a show about optimism and hopefulness, about looking for people and finding things to look up to. It’s about wanting more from life than it might be up for giving out. It’s about struggling with realising what you are, who you are and what you can’t change about yourself, and about really feeling like an outsider for the first time. It’s a bit about having faith in younger people, and friendship, and activism, and solidarity. Actually, she’s been busy interviewing activists about what they do and why, so it's also about politics and making things happen. And there's probably a bit where she pretends to be a push-button shower, so it should be silly and fun too, with a few exciting bits in it."

It is a busy period for Long. She is doing work in progress shows in Edinburgh in August and will also be appearing on C4's The Island and Dara O’Briain’s Go 8 Bit later this year.
