Cults and talking cats: It’s been quite the year for Jessica Fostekew and she’ll tell all at Reading’s South Street

Mettle is a brand-new stand-up show about passion, pace and purpose from a comedian who has appeared on hit shows such as QI, Live at the Apollo and Travel Man.

Jessica Fostekew is the comic behind the show, which will be her biggest tour to date.

In it, her son has joined a cult and her cat has learnt to talk – but despite all that she’s fine, actually.

In fact she’s hurtling faster and hustling harder than ever for the things that she wants and needs.

The storyteller with incredible high energy is about to share one one of her most personal shows to date.

Jessica’s last show Wench played a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run and UK tour and is available now as a special. Her previous show Hench was nominated for Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and won Best Show at the Chortle Awards where Jessica also won Best Act. It’s available to stream now on Amazon Prime.

Jessica Fostekew said: “I’m properly giddy about sharing this show.

“I’ve spent the last year feeling increasingly passionate about so many things from the state of the world to the state of the monsters on Married at First Sight.

“I’ve had a big birthday and it’s come with a torrent of life-bending revelations; the biggest of which is that even if something seems impossible, it might not be.

“I’d been spending too long giving up too easily.

“This is a show about shamelessly caring about things a HUGE amount and turning that passion into positive action.”

She will visit South Street in Reading on Thursday, February 22, and then appear at Norden Farm in Maidenhead on Wednesday, April 24.
