Jules O’Brian

Avoid Excessive Cleavage (and Other Advice to Ignore) Work In Progress 2023

A comedy show about ageing, inspirational quotes that get thrown about as we age, and observations about the ways the world treats us as we get older. This is from the very early days of the show at Birmingham Comedy Festival. It's changed now, but I was super proud of it, even back then. Gorgeous audience. Just a lot of fun all round.

Episode 25: "Someone Will Always Be Younger..." Thanks - that really helps!

Jules muses unhelpful advice, Gwyneth's side-bum dress, The Truth About Ruby Cooper, and other people's noisy hotel "shenanigans."

Episode 24: Rejection, MAFS, Spitting in Coffee, and Comedy on the Radio

Episode 23: Show Success, Accepting 54, and Entering Elizabeth Hurley's Orbit

After a couple of months' hiatus, Jules is back! (Only for 11 minutes, but it still counts!) She muses her Leicester Comedy Festival terror and success, preparing for her first Edinburgh, accepting 54, and entering her idol's orbit.

Episode 22: "Take Risks - Life's too short and happiness is too rare." Hmmm...

Jules muses Brum Comedy Festival, a MAFS application, supporting Hal Cruttenden, Ben Elton nostalgia, and being heckled to "free Diddy!"

Episode 21: Still Showing Up

Jules muses the frustrations of always being the bridesmaid but never the bride, Bonnie Blue, and showing up even when you're really not feeling it.

Episode 20: Internet Trolls - Seriously Guys, Give Your (Ugly) Heads a Wobble

Jules is cat-sitting so has way too much time on her hands to muse brilliant women in the public eye, and why they make so many losers so angry, no matter what they do.

Episode 19: “Do What You Love and You’ll Never Work a Day in Your Life” Yeah, right!

Jules muses pulled gigs, CMAT, difficult goodbyes, and sacking off competitions.

Episode 18: Comparison in the Thief of Joy (and all that)

Jules muses comparing herself to other comics, other women, and living to 115 - why would anyone want to?!

Episode 17: Oscar Wilde, Freddy Krueger, Spudman, and Brilliant Women

In this episode, Jules realises just how Gen X she truly is. She also regrets not going to meet her horror hero, muses on her hometown's quirks, and admires the brilliance of Laura Lexx.
