Summary

 The Stand-Up while Sitting Down Years...

Jo Brand tells the story of how she crawled to fame and fortune, managed to persuade someone to marry her and had some children at an age when she should have been in a bath chair on the seafront. In this second volume of her memoirs, Jo recounts wild times on the comedy circuit, the attempts to tart her up for the TV screen, running the marathon, rally driving, her numerous, occasionally extremely inebriated, Edinburgh festival appearances, her 'acting' career, and much, much more.

Jo Brand is one of our best-loved comedians, according to a quote she made up. This memoir is full of hard-won wisdom, hilarity and her views on life, laughs, friendships and all the good and bad things in the world. If she was Prime Minister, the country would be in even more of a mess than it is.

I’m a big ‘getting on’ fan. Instead of self indulgent crappola that we usually get from a celeb book, this is honest and sincere. Humble and interesting. The bit about Perth was spot on. The performance is comfortable listening , relaxing even . Good with a whiskey.

Jo chats with you like a mate at the pub - love it
