Jo Griffin: Renegade (WIP)

Jo Griffin's Renegade is a stand-up comedy show presented as a work in progress, staged at The Bill Murray in London. It looks back at memories from earlier decades to make sense of the present.

Renegade is a new stand-up set by Jo Griffin, still in development, which takes an affectionate and sceptical look at the past to understand where we are now. The material covers subjects such as 1990s sex education, young adults'package holidays to Magaluf, the term MILF, and MPs, alongside other topics that are still being shaped.

Griffin's previous Edinburgh show was directed by Chloe Petts and sold out Soho Theatre, and the performer has appeared on Channel 4 and Dave. This new work follows that run and carries the same conversational, observational approach to personal and social memory.

The show takes place at The Bill Murray, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows. As the title indicates, the material is a work in progress, so the set is being refined as it is performed. The show suits audiences who enjoy topical, autobiographical stand-up and are interested in watching a comedian develop new material.
