Good Ship Comedy presents Jessica Fostekew

JESSICA FOSTEKEW

EDINBURGH COMEDY AWARD NOMINEE: BEST SHOW 2019

If comedians were strikers then Jess would be the most in-form player in the world, banging in goals from every conceivable angle. She has appeared on QI, Live at the Apollo and the Museum of Curiosity, as well as being a star of Motherland and Cuckoo, Meanwhile, over in podland hosts her own podcast Hoovering all about eating which in less than a year has racked up nearly half a million downloads. She is also a regular co-host of behemoth podcast The Guilty Feminist and is all set to host a brilliant new podcast from the same producers in 2019 called X, Y, Z Boom.

For over a decade Jess has been a whirlwind of comic invention, poignant acting and hilarious linguistic goofing about.  She’s as at home over-sharing the truths of motherhood or being bawdily funny as she is showing off her impressive jester’s intellect or performing one-woman mini-plays about the absurd minutiae of British life that have the laser accuracy of Alan Bennett.

“Wears her smarts on her sleeve, great stuff." Guardian

"Consistently hilarious.” Fest
