Why do we Hate?
I am off to London this weekend, just for a week of gigs down south. I am looking forward to it, I do love London . There is a distinct anti- English feeling sometimes in Scotland ; people can very rude about southern cousins. Some people say to me “That’s a shame you have to go...
Kill the PC
I stared at the blank screen on my laptop, it blinked and effectively died, right there in front of me. A tight pain went in my chest, but then it blinked back on and I quickly saved loads of my files and emailed them to myself. Then I killed the pc by turning it off, I knew it would never...
Aberdeen & Wombles
I had a hectic weekend. I went up to Aberdeen as I was performing my one woman comedy show at The Lemon Tree club/theatre which is an awesome space to do comedy in. I got an early train up and checked into a hotel just on the outskirts of the main city centre as I figured that would be quiet....
A real ghost story
This really happened, I have spent years thinking about it and every time I recall it, it makes me feel creepy, scared and sad. Back in 1985 I was pregnant and very ill. I developed some weird sickness that meant I could not hold down any food during the pregnancy and I almost had to...
Ashley got drunk
The other night Ashley came home late from University, she was roaring drunk. She had been out with some guys from class and drank Tequila. I was sitting happily watching TV and the giant stumbling daughter from hell arrived. She banged every door in the house and started speaking very...
Asians in Scotland and Racism
I was gigging with a lovely Asian comic, Inder Manocha. He is an amazing comic and wonderful man and when we spoke backstage about Asians and Scottish people’s attitude towards them it made me recall when I was young. I lived in Shettleston in Glasgow’s East End and in the 1960s, we had many...

Baby Abi and Autumn Leaves
Went over to see my favourite wee great-niece Abi, her wee sister Julia and big brother Shawn, they are so cute. Shawn is ten, Abi is four and wee Julia is one year old now and is almost walking about. They are the kids of my niece Ann Margaret. Abi is the funniest wee human being in the...
Gigs and good fun
The Glasgow Stand was an awesome gig on Friday, the place was crowded and the audience were very appreciative. How nice to get such a reaction! It was great to gig in my own fair city; I am off to Leicester next weekend to work- back on the road. Saturday morning I was off to the beautiful...
Britain’s Top Forger
Tom McAnea was jailed last this week for six years in Glasgow after being caught printing millions of Euros and Sterling. ‘Hologram Tam’ he was dubbed by the Glasgow police, as he was an expert in his field. Tam was known the world over for being the best in his business; he was a genius...
The Dog and the Doughnuts
Warm baked bread, always makes me think about the old bakery in Shettleston where I grew up. The bakers shop had a typical layout. It had loads of glass shelves with bread; cakes and buns all on display and it had white coated shop assistants serving the customers. The black and white...
Take Part in a WORLD WIDE Experiment
During the Edinburgh Fringe 2004 I wrote in chalk on the walls of Edinburgh my name ‘Janey Godley’. It became a really well known piece of graffiti and now I am sending out a call to all the people all over the world who read my Blog to write ‘Janey Godley’ in CHALK on any...
