Scottish-based production and talent management agency, Sparkling Creative, has announced a run of live shows at the Phoenix Arts Club in London. The agency will bring an Edinburgh Fringe-preview of veteran comedian, Jojo Sutherland’s show, alongside a live recording of the Be Honest with Jojo Sutherland and Bruce Devlin podcast. The shows will be topped off by celebrated drag queen, Nancy Clench – who returns to the Phoenix Arts Club after a sell-out pre-pandemic show.
Be Honest with Jojo Sutherland and Bruce Devlin. Tuesday 14th June, 19:30. Join award winning comedians Jojo Sutherland and Bruce Devlin in a live recording of their podcast, Be Honest, in which they are, alongside special guests and surprises. Recent events have seen these two emerge from their chrysalis to hold a mirror up to society, and the compact really is cracked. If tart honesty and blunt candour is to your taste – allow our hosts to give you a feast with added bite. There’s more girth to this show than the usual podcasts, but it will be just as sharp and not at all sweet. “We can definitely see this being a proper staple in British comedy podcasts.” – Broadway Baby.
