"JANEY GODLEY - TELL IT LIKE IT IS!"

"The Godmother of Scottish comedy", "Scotland's funniest woman" and winner of 2008 Fringe Report award as 'Best Performer' on the Edinburgh Fringe, Janey Godley brings her 5-star sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show to London for the first time and straight from her success at the Glasgow Comedy Festival where the Herald gave it a 4-star review as "Hilarious... Priceless". They called Janey "a natural-born storyteller... Godley is capable like few others of taming a raucous Glasgow crowd... with a life less ordinary to draw inspiration from and an inquisitive empathy for life's quirkier characters."

Ed note: Saw Janey Godley perform at ScotsCare St Andrew's Day Scottish Comedy Night bash and she was "braw" - and that was just as MC! A real Glaswegian who tells it like it is!  A great ambassador for Comedy in Scotland and internationally. It's not surprising she has so many great accollades - she's "Pure dead brilliant!" "Creme de la Creme" as Miss Jean Brodie would say - knew I'd manage to get a Godley and Cream reference in there!
