Janey Godley

Janey Godley is a Scottish comedian, author, and actress. Born in Glasgow, she is one of Scotland's best-known comedians and is famous for her viral voiceover videos of political events. She has performed stand-up comedy for over two decades.

The book is raw, honest, and ultimately life-affirming. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers a raw, powerful memoir about survival and finding your voice — darkly funny writing from one of Scotland's most fearless comedians.
