Janey Godley doesn鈥檛 know how long she鈥檚 got left, so she鈥檚 telling ALL the jokes! This is her extraordinary story. Fearless and unflinching, yet life affirming stand-up at its very best.

In this episode, we hear how Janey became an unlikely teen bride for a shy autistic 16 year-old who dressed like insurance salesman, and how a mixed marriage that seemed doomed before it even began, has lasted for over 43 years. Oh, and there鈥檚 that time they met Prince.

With added insight from Janey鈥檚 daughter Ashley Storrie, who helps her mum remember the stories of their life together with humour and love.

Relentlessly authentic, she's also had to face up to her own mistakes - taking responsibility and apologising both publicly and onstage, as well as sharing the shame of being 鈥榗ancelled鈥� and the very dark place that took her to.

Then, just months later, the hand grenade of a cancer diagnosis forced her to start fighting for her life.

Now, after finally admitting that after everything she鈥檚 been through in life, maybe she鈥榮 not 鈥渇ine鈥�, and with a terminal diagnosis, she鈥檚 submitted to the ultimate 鈥楥 bomb' for many men and women of her generation - counselling.

And as a result of this insight, she鈥檚 more hilarious and compelling onstage than ever.

Janey鈥檚 experienced a life of extremes but has come out the other side with rare insight, still able to make light of all its trials and tribulations in her signature dark and uncompromising style.

Recorded live in front of an audience in her hometown, Glasgow.
