Jo Caulfield
Jo Caulfield is a Stand-Up comedian, writer and actress.
Whether you’ve seen her on TV shows such as “Have I Got News For You”, “The John Bishop Show” or “Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow,” heard her on the radio on “Just a Minute” or “Breaking The News”, or caught her live at one of her award-winning Edinburgh Festival shows, the chances are you’re already familiar with Jo’s work.
Described by The Observer as “One of the finest female comics at work” and by The Scotsman as “Quite simply, a damn funny woman”. Jo can regularly be seen headlining the UK’s biggest and best comedy clubs and has performed Stand-Up all over the world. Jo was one of the first women to do TV warm-up and worked as the warm-up artist on many high-profile TV shows.
She is also in high demand on the corporate circuit, speaking at and hosting dinners and award ceremonies for many leading companies across the UK and beyond.
She has appeared on BBC Scotland’s “Debate Night”, BBC 1’s “The Politics Show” and is also a regular on Times Radio giving her take on the news and politics.
Behind the scenes Jo is a respected writer, having served as a writer/programme consultant on all five series of Graham Norton’s BAFTA Award winning “So Graham Norton” and as writer on both Ruby Wax’s “Waiting Game” and Zoe Ball’s “Strictly Dance Fever”. Jo has also written for, among others, Joan Rivers, Ant & Dec and Anne Robinson.
She has written and performed in several of her own series on Radio 4 “It’s That Jo Caulfield Again”, “Jo Caulfield Won’t Shut Up” as well as her own her own Stand-Up special.
In 2021 Jo surprised herself by discovering she had a ruthlessly, competitive streak which saw her winning her week on “Richard Osman’s House Of Games”.
Jo’s first book was published in 2023 - “A Funny Thing About Death” - a funny and profoundly moving memoir about Jo and her sister, Annie, growing up and latterly about Annie’s untimely death.
“It’s a wildly satisfying and moving read ... I loved this special book” – GRAHAM NORTON
In 2022 Jo was voted “The Comedians Comedian” an award voted for by her peers and those in the comedy industry.
“Many of the points Jo Caulfield makes about the human condition would have sociologists stroking their beards in admiration, but her audiences tend to be laughing too much to notice” – THE TIMES
“Jo Caulfield is incapable of doing a bad show, so sharp is her tongue and so in tandem is it with her mischievous mind” – THE SCOTSMAN
“Jo Caulfield is an inspiration to all would-be female comedians” – THE OBSERVER
