Since bursting onto the scene in March
2002,
Jojo Sutherland has climbed the comedy ladder at an alarming pace.
She regularly plays at comedy clubs across the UK and is in great
demand for corporate events.
As a regular at The Stand Comedy Club
in Edinburgh and Glasgow and Jongleurs clubs across the
country, she alternates between her regular set and compering. Her
'healthy neglect' approach to parenting forms the backbone to her
material interspersed with everyday grievances and motherly advice.
This charismatic mother of four goes to
great lengths to glean material, the most extreme example being her
starring role in Channel 4's award winning series 'Wife Swap'
That experience not only features in her stand-up with hysterical
results but has been made into a full length show called 'Wife
Idle? - The Rivals' which she has written and performed with her
own theatre company The OneHanded Women.
Jojo performed her first one woman show
(Funny Money) at this year’s Edinburgh fringe which earned her
great comments from the critics. 'Excellent Scottish comedienne'
chortle.co.uk 'well structured, focussed and consistently funny'

As an accomplished actress Jojo
frequently appears on stage and undertakes work from a variety of
fields including radio presenting, voiceovers and improvisational
forum theatre, she has also appeared in several short films.
Jojo was a finalist in the inaugural
Funny Women Comedy Awards and was part of two world record
breaking events - Stand Up 150 and One Big Laugh.
Jojo is a regular contributor for
Radio Scotland's 'MacAulay & Co Show' and has recently been
writing articles for Edinburgh Evening News and Scotland on
Sunday.
