Linda Smith Lecture: Jo Caulfield

We’re delighted that Jo Caulfield has agreed to give the 2026 Linda Smith Lecture. Described by The Observer as ‘one of the finest female comedians’, Jo is a brilliant stand-up and writer who regularly headlines the UK’s biggest comedy clubs. She has appeared in the Royal Variety Performance, not to mention shows like Mock the Week and Just a Minute. She has also performed at the Loving Linda benefit gigs, raising money in Linda Smith’s memory for Target Ovarian Cancer.
