Josie Long jokes
Stand-up comedian Josie Long has been taking the biscuit all over the place, that’s touring around the country to you granddad! She’ll be in the Exeter Phoenix tonight.
And according to her promotional literature, she’s really rather funny. But wait, those outrageous claims are backed up by funny people we know and love, like Stewart Lee, who said something like she’s really rather funny.
She’s on at the Exeter Phoenix tonight at 8, tickets £5 or £6.

What a difference a day makes
At least race is back on the agenda - yeah, like it ever went away. But if you’re keen to really understand the depth of your prejudice, a new programme run by Plymouth’s Barbican may be the topping your poppadom has been screaming out for.
Hold on to your hats, though, you can only get into this shindig if you’re studying key stages 3 and 4 (I’m afraid if you haven’t learnt by then, well, you’re a bit - pick your own word for it).
Called the Day of Difference, young people are encouraged to examine their values, attitudes and beliefs in the morning and in the afternoon they actually meet people from different cultures.
Good idea? Undoubtedly. Well delivered? I’m sure. But the question that lingers is what difference does a day make? Race is back on the agenda - yeah, like it ever went away…
To book a place (and yes, teachers can get a heads up on what some may call diversity training) call 01752 242 017 or email . The Day of Diversity runs from February 19 to March 30.
