JoJo Maberly: Angst and Angstability (WiP)

Award-winning musical comedian JoJo Maberly (BBC One, BBC Radio 4, BBC Three) grew up in the sticks. So she became obsessed with sticks, and then, naturally, she became obsessed with Ewan McGregor.

In this innocently unhinged show, JoJo takes us through the multiple obsessions she has conquered and surrendered to during her embarrassingly angsty teenage years in rural England. With 'witty and unexpected' (Chortle) songs on her guitar, and what can only be described as tortured wails through her loop pedal, JoJo crafts crude jokes 'while somehow maintaining an endearing innocence' showing 'likeability and talent in equal measure' (FunnyWomen.com), and 'impressive musical chops' (BeyondTheJoke).

JoJo was the winner of the 2025 Bristol Comedy Competition 2025 and the Best Newcomer prize at the Musical Comedy Awards 2023. A Soho Theatre Labs Alumna, she has written for BBC Radio  and her standup has been featured as part of the BBC New Comedy Awards on BBC Three.
