Something Better is the spoonful of sugar that is so desperately needed in the medicine of topical laughter.
"I muck about on stage - there's a lot of fun and silliness and trickery - but I am very earnest."
"Among the many delights to be found was Steen Raskopoulos' surreal, absurdist sketch comedy — no small thing to pull off live."
"It was brilliant to get scriptwriting and acting experience, though. And they give you food."
When Long talks about her desire to rail against the Tory Government but to not get bogged down by the frustration it leads to, it feels like a lesson the Australian left might need come September.
“[You’ve got to keep] trying to notice small delightful things around you. That’s really important. And, like, just being aware of the fact that there are always changes for joy and delight and wonder no matter how shit you feel!”
The final section has Long contemplating her life at 30, and when the show closes many are appreciating the lighting-quick mind of Josie Long.
