Publisher Description
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 ten years as a psychiatric nurse? How did she deal with late night drunken audiences? Raised in middle class comfort, she 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.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.

Good read
Very witty , a great insight into the earlier years and a great read. Made me laugh which is very rare as I'm a miserable sod.
Amazing read
I have loved all of Jo Brands work and reading this book gave me a great insight into her life, all her ups and downs and all the different carrer changes and hilarious shinanigans she got up to in her youth.

Great book :) enjoyed every page. Everyone is entitled to review this as they think but don't think there's any need for name calling, very sad!
