Lockdown Laughs is part of a new series where we chat to some of the UK’s top comedians, to find out how they are keeping themselves entertained during the lockdown period. First up is Scottish comedian Jojo Sutherland who toured the UK with Jonathan Pie last year.
This charismatic comic performs in comedy clubs worldwide where she is in as much demand for her compere abilities as she is for her comedy routine. Her natural stage presence alongside her “healthy neglect” attitude to life proves extremely popular amongst many and varied audiences including the armed forces where she remains as one of the few women to go to military bases to entertain the troops.
