About this listen
Jo Brand is one of Britain's funniest and best-loved comedians. With a sharp eye for the absurd and in her own unique voice, she tells her story for the first time. What possessed her to become a professional comedian in the cut-throat world of stand-up comedy after 10 years as a psychiatric nurse? How did she deal with late-night drunken audiences? Raised in middle class comfort, Brand left home in her teens to live with someone entirely inappropriate.
Her parents were aghast at her behaviour and attempted to rein in her excesses, finally giving up when she demonstrated that she was not headed for the life of a nun. From her early years growing up in a small south coast town with two brothers who toughened her up, to emerging on stage as 'The Sea Monster', Jo Brand tells it like it is with wit, candour, and a wonderful sense that life can be ridiculous but there's always a funny side.

Good but too short
I love Jo Brand however I should have been vigilant as I used my monthly choice on some that hat gave me only 2 hours. Not worth the expense. As I very recently retired Mental health nurse I related to the stories though. Very close to home!

LOVED it!
Jo Brand's down to earth commonsense kind of humour ticks all the boxes for me. Sorry, sarcastic, hilarious and down right sadistic when appropriate!
her ongoing lifelong experiences of sexual discrimination/bullying (like mine) makes this current generation of snowflakes who want to sue men "he peered at me, I want him fired" more shallow and have no respect for women like Jo, who changed the world for today's young women, by no taking shit and telling them to fuck off, to her and my own detriment career wise.
women today wouldn't be taking the new world order for granted if it wasn't for us, the ungrateful bitches!
