The Night My Daughter Died…
She was only thirteen years old and the club was full of people waiting to see the UK ’s youngest stand up comic. Oh by the way she didn’t actually die physically, it’s a comedy term for having a bad gig. Ashley had been doing stand up since she was 11 years old and was...
Mij is crazy…
My brother had a consultation today at the cancer clinic (he has cancer; we weren’t there for the social benefits). I love my brother but he is nuts…in a good way. “Janey I have a…” Mij broke off halfway through a sentence. The women near us looked up and...
Mermaids…
“Auntie Janey, can you take me to the zoo so I can stroke a mermaid, coz I have never seen one yet” baby Abi pleads with big penny eyes as we did a jigsaw of a beautifully drawn mermaid. The stunning green shimmering tail enchanted wee Abi’s imagination and she traced her finger...
I played the Carnegie Hall this week…it sounds wonderful doesn’t it?
This one is in Dunfermline though, which is the birth place of Andrew Carnegie, the wee town is awesome. The hall was amazing and the crowd were wonderful. Dunfermline is a pretty town and the architecture is stunning. Though I did come across and annoying...
Blogging on a Monday…
Standing in front of a huge bunch of 13 year old kids and a hall full of students was not the ideal location for my Monday afternoon. The McEwen Hall in Edinburgh played host to the election debate and I was the comedy warm up. I was slightly worried that my comedy...
Dundee
Am just home from Dundee , it was amazing. Honestly so lovely and the people were nice. I was booked into a hotel called 25 in Dundee . It’s a boutique hotel and very much big upped itself on its webpage. Firstly there was NO wi-fi available and you have to check into the hotel through...
London and Beyond…
Monday morning I woke up and had to pack quickly for London . I had fallen asleep early the night before and never did my late night suitcase pack up which is my usual ritual. Husband drove me to airport and I was still groggy. I realised that day my first ever newspaper...
Glasgow Comedy Festival
Well my one woman show at the Garage was wonderful and thanks to everyone who came along. The room was great and the audience were really cool. I love being onstage and today I got my review in The Scotsman my favourite quote from that review said ‘Truly inspired’ how awesome? The...
It’s Official…
The Scotsman Newspaper called me last week and offered me my own column. I am so excited and scared…what if I am a shit writer…I know this blog is popular but I might be crap. I went through to Edinburgh for the photo session as I needed a new picture for the head of the...
Squirrels are EVIL…
Husband and I went a walk down into Kelvingrove Park . There was a wee winding path that took us down to the river. As we approached the look out point there was this amazing noise, it was like a rustling and thundering running sound. I turned round and before my eyes about 46...
Moving on…
I have had a really exciting week. Tickets are selling well for my one woman show Janey Godley Live! At Garage on March 8 th as part of the Glasgow Comedy festival and secondly I got offered my own weekly column in the Scotsman Newspaper. I am over the moon and so looking...
Are Women Funny?
The eternal comedy question arises. When a woman walks on stage she knows that the majority of the audience are not convinced she is funny and has to hit them straight away with a joke to get them to relax and trust her, where as men are assumed funny the minute they walk on and hold...
Good Days …
“Auntie Janey, I can see the moon and the sun….look” pointed baby Abi as I walked her home in the late afternoon light. “How can I see both?” she asked. “Well it’s because the time of year and the light I think, I am not very sure Abi am sure Ashley will know because she is...
