Award-winning comedian Jo Caulfield hits town this week with her new show Celebration of Anger, a show exploring the things that irritate, annoy and irk – and embracing the joys of getting angry about them, no matter how petty they may seem to others.

“I’m a great believer in letting rip and expressing my anger,” says Jo, “whether it’s prompted by someone being rude, the ridiculous romantic |rituals my friends are following, or life in general.

“I love to have a good rant – it’s the only sensible approach most of the time.

“Let’s face it, so many things are annoying or unnecessarily silly that if you don’t stop to laugh at them they may very well drive you up the wall.”

Finding the funny in the frustrations of life is something Jo excels at – hence her regular |appearances on many TV and radio panel shows, including Mock the Week and Have I Got News for You. But the acclaimed comedian is the first to admit that getting mad doesn’t always mean getting even, “on more than one occasion my anger has backfired and got me into trouble” she admits. “How much trouble? You’ll have to come and see the show to find out.”

Jo Caulfield's Celebration of Anger will be at The Poly, Falmouth on March 13 from 8pm. For tickets, priced £12 call 01326 319461 or see www.thepoly.org
