 THE INSPIRATIONAL MEMOIR FROM COMEDY LEGEND JANEY GODLEY

'A great comedian and an extraordinary life' - Billy Connolly

'Properly laugh-out-loud funny' - The Times

Janey was a determined fighter all her life, from her tough Glasgow childhood to becoming a national treasure. Time and again she needed her strength to survive life's hardest moments. She needed it as a sweary-mouthed woman in the male-dominated comedy clubs of the 1990s. And she needed it when she brought a case against the uncle who'd abused her as a child. A terrifying ordeal - but she won.

From rocky beginnings, Janey started to gain big audiences at home and internationally. Awards rolled in for her acting and writing too. She was at her height, and with a soaring online following for her hilarious political voice-overs, when in 2021 hurtful, historic tweets were unearthed which shook her to the core. In the eye of the media storm, her spirit was nearly broken, but her fanbase stayed strong.

At the end of the long sell-out tour which followed she received the devastating news she had ovarian cancer. Her future hung in the balance, but even in treatment, a new tour went ahead, called Not Dead Yet.

Inspiring, funny, open-hearted, Janey celebrates everything this hilarious and defiant woman was - against the odds - and confirms just why we will never forget her.©2024 Janey Godley (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Comedy Funny Witty Heartfelt

Having listened to Janey's 2 other titles I have been waiting patiently for this to drop and have not been disappointed. A story of courage, determination and what life has to throw at us, told with honesty and the humour we have come to expect from Janey. Thank you, Janey for showing that our circumstances do not define us. Much respect and love x

Honest, real and humbling
