Joik is a comic journey from lost to found in the company of a reindeer. This preview is written and performed by award winning Northern Irish comedian, writer and actor Elaine Malcolmson, Joik explores human emotion, memory and connection with the help of a hardy Arctic mammal. For an idea of what to expect, Elaine’s previous shows have examined loneliness using Disney princesses and whales and looked at the hopelessness of capitalism using salad spinners.

Elaine is currently a regular on BBC Scotland’s Breaking the News and is also recognised as Penny from BBC’s Soft Border Patrol and Eliza from Scot Squad. Her live performances include the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe and the New York Comedy Festival. “bone-dry and talented... exquisite material” Edinburgh Evening News “a downbeat delight” List
