BIOGRAPHY
Josephine Lacey first came onto the London comedy circuit in October 2008. Drawing on her Jamaican-Irish heritage and life experiences she delivers her material with an honest humour and a natural raw energy with the guile and wisdom of someone that’s been there, done it and bought the t-shirt. She’s been described as ‘eloquently filthy’, delivering her material with an effortless charm and huge smile that leaves audiences loving her and wanting more.
Josephine regularly performs 10/20/30 minute spots all around London and England. Her performances at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2010 & 2011 made a huge impact on audiences and promoters alike leaving her comedy voice in great demand.
In 2013 Josephine penned her first one woman show “Me and My Little Einstein” about living and raising a child with Autism which gained much interest and left audiences in England and Ireland in stitches. 2021 has seen the release of her second solo show “Autism Mama and Puberty which is a must see!
