Joanna Neary

Joanna Neary is one of the best-loved character comics on the circuit. For her first solo show in Edinburgh ('Joanna Neary is Not Feeling Herself') she was nominated for the Perrier Newcomer Award and won the Comedy Report Best Character Actress Award. Joining series 2 of Ideal as the new love interest to Moz (Johnny Vegas), Joanna was in the following 5 series as odd ball neighbor and bag of nerves, Judith. Joanna is very excited about her first show in Newcastle and will be mixing new stand up, stupid songs, a dance routine, a radio play with sound effects and her best loved comedy characters in an absurd, hilarious and upbeat hour. 'Hilarious off-kilter talent' - The Sunday Telegraph 'Neary is a character actress par excellence, not only are her characters well observed and immaculately performed, but they are well written and, most importantly, funny... A Joyce Grenfell of our age.' - The Guardian 'Neary has a rare comic talent with a wonderfully expressive face and an ability to drop instantly into warm and warped three-dimensional characters... This is another assured offering from a perennial festival favourite' - Chortle "Thank heavens for Joanna Neary whose skewed clowning isgloriously different...sublimely funny- The Evening Standard 16+
