New Year telly!
I had a great gig at Glasgow Jongleurs, the crowd was just awesome and it can be scary doing stand up comedy at Hogmanay….as the Glasgow crowd can be mental, but there was just wonderful. I was tired as I have been up for nights watching all my BAFTA dvd’s, being a BAFTA...
Those Crazy Russians….
Was up visiting my sister Ann on Boxing day, my sister has four kids and four grand kids (the famous Abi from previous Blogs is the youngest grand daughter), my sister had a full house of kids including Abi who was screaming “The Robert frightens me” as she pointed at her brother Shaun’s’...
Here comes the snow…
I had a good day today, went out for lunch with my old school pals Janette and Jean. It’s always nice to catch up with them both. We went for lunch and walked around town and by the time we left the restaurant the snow had started to come down heavily and the town looks awesome with the...
The Rush is over…
Thank God we all ‘survived’ Christmas…I was sick of reading articles in magazines shouting’ How to Survive Christmas’ as if it was some ordeal, well in some countries it is, but that’s not really what the article was aiming at. It was writing some crud on how to prepare a mammoth eating feast,...
I love being a Poster Girl…
My daughter went out last night, she doesn’t often go drinking ( that always worries me as I have an issue with booze, but must never make her paranoid about it, even though I never had problems with alcohol, I come from people who did and still do). Anyway, she was up Curlers bar...
A Christmas Miracle..
So its Christmas Eve, I am lying in bed at 5pm for a wee pre festive nap, my bed head is directly beneath my window and in my light slumber I can hear…tap tap tap tap…what the hell is going on? Who is hammering in the back car park on fucking Christmas Eve? So I finally get up and...
Christmas is what??
I realised today as I struggled through the city centre and into Marks and Spencer’s to do some food shopping that Christmas is a bit fake. Now before you think I am about to launch into a ‘bah humbug’ situation hear me out ok? My reasoning for this opinion is quite easy, in the shops...
Nigerian Scam
Hello Dear Bloggers here is a genuine correspondence between me and some dude calling himself Doctor Steven Igho, it’s a Nigerian scam letter but I got bored and answered it, here is the replies. My writing is in RED and bold. If you cannot see the red or bold go to www.janeygodley.co.uk and...
Am Home for Christmas!
Yes… I am back. The gig went fantastic at Cochrane Theatre, nice people turned up, people who had read my book, blog or newspaper articles. I had decided on a surprise start to the show, I came on dancing to Madonna’s latest single, except I am old and nearly broke a hip bone trying to...
Today is the Day
I am up and ready for my big show tonight at Cochrane Theatre, I am worried a bit as I don’t ever seem to have a format for my show and it’s a big two hour show! I have had period pains and horrid stomach problems but I am good to go. Last night was good fun, I went to the 606 jazz club in...
Sexy Headaches and radio shows
Today has been good fun so far. I had a great gig last night at Edcomedy up in Foresthill. Lovely wee room and run by good people, the only problem is I had the start of my legendary ‘only in London ’ migraine that lasted all night and most of today. Today was good publicity wise, I got a...
Spies and Strange Men in suits
Its been an odd day all round, I was standing at the bus stop outside the Home Office down near my flat at Marsham Street, waiting patiently on a bus. I heard a small commotion behind me and on the grass verge outside of the Home Office; a big black man had erected a small tent, and put up...
Near Death in Soho
I have had such fun in London so far, had good meetings with TV people, and had a great gig last night at Comedy Camp, got to meet up with Jay who is an old mate…and shopping eating and fun. Yesterday I was at BBC television centre pitching a sketch show and screenplay. I got out at...
London is great...
I am finally rested; today I went up to Unique studio’s to record a show with John Ronson for his radio programme that airs next year. It was good fun and he is a very interesting man, he made me think a few times about my personality during the show! Apparently pretending to have a...
London fights and fun part two…
Well it’s now Sunday, I am exhausted as when I landed in London on Friday, I literally hit the ground running and finally I can breathe! After Ashley and I did the photo shoot and interview with the lovely man from the Sunday Times (we are the Magazine’s ‘Relative Values’ subjects) we...
British Airways and Comedy pitching….Friday the dark day…
So we were all packed last night to go to London , just some small bits and bobs to go in last minute. I fell asleep knowing that I had to get up at 8am to have a shower and get ready for 10.30am flight from Glasgow to London . I was in a lovely deep sleep, when my mobile registered...
Photo Shoot and TV…
I had to get up early and get dressed, suited and lipsticked all ready for the STV recording for the Hogmanay Show. I was to comment on various Scottish news headlines that occurred in 2005. The venue was Hampden Football Park , I was almost late and panicked slightly, but...
Happy Christmas, from Janey Godley
Dentists and Journalists….
I was at the dentists this morning, he seemed pleased to see me and always laughs as I come in and then pin myself to a wall and scream! I pretend to be scared but honestly I really am, but as you hit 40, you really have to stop being silly. He is taking out the black amalgam fillings...
Glenochil Prison Gig!
What a day! I had to meet up with a journalist to discuss the article they are writing concerning me performing comedy for the lifers at Glenochil prison tonight. But first I had to dash to the docs to show him a new wee lump on my breast, turns out its just a wee cyst and I need to...
My Home town…
I like going back to Shettleston, I love getting to see my brother, David, he is two years older than me, and easiest the funniest man in the world. We met in a small local bar full of wee old men and football fans of all ages. David kept teasing me saying I had a full moustache...
New Photo Link…
Hi All, here is some updated information regarding ‘My Photo Gallery’. I have a new photo gallery which can be accessed through ‘My links’, ‘External links’ or ‘favourite’s links’ depending on the format of the blog site that you are viewing. If none of those options are...
Panic and stress…
I had a lovely time today; I went to the Community Awards down in Whiteinch. The people and drug support workers down there have been great at supporting me develop my play ‘Smack-the Point of Yes’. I performed there in the community halls a few times and really enjoyed it and have...
Good Gigs and Good People…
I had a good night performing for Shawhead Nursery, all the money went straight to the kids Christmas presents. It wasn’t a Cherie Blair charity gig either; expenses were paid by me, I hate when people say they do charity and then charge rail fare and taxi’s etc… They are good people up at...

Thanks to all who are still buying my book ‘Handstands in the Dark’, I love it when people meet me and give me their opinion on it! I know many of you have been voting and I SO pleased, thanks. If you still want a chance to vote for my book. Here are the details....
