Remove ads
Flo and Joan are an English comedy music act consisting of sisters Rosie Dempsey (vocals, percussion, electronic drums, recorder) and Nicola Dempsey (vocals, piano, recorder).[1] The act generally consists of comedy songs the sisters have written themselves, that blend elements such as alliteration, political humour and observational comedy.[2][1] Their stage names are taken from their grandmother and her sister.
Flo and Joan have been featured on BBC One's Live at the Apollo, Stamptown Comedy Night[3] and the Off Menu podcast, amongst other media.[4] In 2018, they were featured in a Nationwide Building Society television advert.[5][6] They released an Amazon Prime Video special, Alive on Stage, based on their Edinburgh Fringe show in 2019.[7][1][8]
The sisters grew up in Portsmouth, lived in Toronto for a few years,[9][5][10] and as of February 2019[update], now live in London.[11]
