About this listen

THE HEARTFELT AND HILARIOUSLY FUNNY AUTOBIOGRAPHY FROM STAR OF STAGE AND SCREEN, JOANNA PAGE, INCLUDING HER LIFE BEHIND THE SCENES OF GAVIN & STACEY.

From the small village of Treboeth on the outskirts of Swansea to the sets of some of the all-time greatest movies and TV shows - like Love Actually and Gavin & Stacey - Joanna Page's journey to stardom has been extraordinary.

In this funny, candid and endlessly surprising memoir, Joanna shares her story in full for the first time. Inside, Joanna looks back at her early life growing up on the glorious Welsh coastline - a life (not unlike Stacey's) filled with family and friendly neighbours - to the sudden shock of moving to London at 18 (totally alone) to take her place at RADA, one of the most prestigious performing arts schools in the world. Before taking readers behind the scenes of her most iconic roles and introducing them to a colourful cast including Ruth Jones, James Corden, Richard E. Grant, Johnny Depp, Liam Neeson and Emma Thompson.

Whether she's navigating early awkward auditions, chasing her big break, getting used to life on set with comedic consequences, falling in love, or discovering the magic and madness of motherhood, Joanna speaks openly about what it really takes to make it in the acting world while staying true to yourself.

An unforgettable read that makes you laugh and cry, Lush! is a celebration of finding your voice, holding your ground and learning to laugh at the messiest, most beautiful moments life has to offer.©2025 Joanna Page

I am not sure what I was expecting from this book or really why I chose to read it. But as a big Gavin and Stacey fan I was curious. It’s a lovely listen. I loved her strength and determination to work as she has, to love her family as she has and to share her journey. Even though there are ups and downs it is a feel good listen. One young women strength and determination to succeed - I loved it. If you know Joanna Page or are a fan of Gavin and Stacey I would totally recommend this.

The story of a young woman with dreams and ambitions. Lush.
