Summary

 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

I really enjoyed listening to this. Her way with words and ability to make folk laugh and get us through tough times was second to none. This insight into her career and cancer journey was fascinating.
RIP Janey.

I love Janey , she saw me through working in social care during the pandemic with her voice overs and lives . It devastating that she now in end of life care but I was so uplifted by her account of her relationship with the Multi talented Ashley Storrie . Janey is a wonderful light that I don’t want to see extinguished, ever.
