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 her life on TV, the attempts to tart her up for the screen, good times on the radio (oh the joy of no makepu[ and a curry-stained dressing gown), 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.
