Summary
'Properly laugh-out-loud funny' - The Times
JOIN COMEDY LEGEND AND NATIONAL TREASURE JANEY GODLEY AS SHE LOOKS BACK ON HER EXTRAORDINARY LIFE AND FACES CANCER HEAD-ON
Janey has been a determined fighter all her life - from her tough Glasgow childhood to becoming the much-loved comedian she is now. It was the strength she needed to survive as a sweary-mouthed woman in the male-dominated comedy clubs of the 1990s.
She needed it again when she brought a case against the uncle who'd abused her as a child. A terrifying ordeal - but she won.
From rocky beginnings, Janey started to gain big audiences at home and internationally. Awards rolled in for her acting and writing too. She was at her height, and with a soaring online following for her hilarious political voice-overs, when in 2021 hurtful, historic tweets were unearthed which shook her to the core. In the eye of the media storm, her spirit was nearly broken, but her fanbase stayed strong.
At the end of the long sell-out tour which followed she received the devastating news she had ovarian cancer. Her future hung in the balance, but even in treatment, a new tour went ahead, called Not Dead Yet. Janey now faces her fears head on and shares the tumultuous journey she's on, continuing to find humour even in her darkest moments.
Inspiring, funny, open-hearted, Janey celebrates everything this hilarious and defiant woman is - against the odds - and confirms just why we'll never want her to shut up.

Honest, real and humbling
Having listened to Janey's 2 other titles I have been waiting patiently for this to drop and have not been disappointed. A story of courage, determination and what life has to throw at us, told with honesty and the humour we have come to expect from Janey. Thank you, Janey for showing that our circumstances do not define us. Much respect and love x

Loved every moment. Did not want it to end
What an amazing woman. She told her story warts and all. Nothing held back.i listend while on holiday and was engaged from the start . Janey has surrounded herself with loving friends and family . What she gives out she gets back and has managed to mute the trolls online by her continued success and doing what is suggested by her doctors regarding her health issues. Loved her biography and her commentary

The Reality of it all
Interesting and honest account of life, love, death and everything in-between. A strong story from a strong woman. Letting us know that it's ok to feel sad, frustrated and Scunnered with your situation. It's ok to admit you're not ok and how there is no shame in admitting it or asking for help. A story of joy and love as well as sadness. A awesome evaluation of a interesting life story. Janey shows us that there is always another chapter in life. It may be good, bad or ugly. But it's conclusion is ours to work with, change, embrace or mould. Simply put it's a story of life. As a fellow 'Scot' I wish there was a 'Glesga' slang/speak version of the audio book. Simply because some words just don't feel right spelt correctly and pronunciated properly 😂
Well done pal, aw eh best x
