Title synopsis

Following the huge success of LOOK BACK IN HUNGER, this second volume of Jo Brand's enthralling life story is fantastically diverse and laugh-out-loud funny. In the late 80s comedy was the new rock and roll and, now a full-time comedian, Jo's success on Friday Night Live landed her a primetime TV show of her own. She found herself in demand as an outspoken, funny commentator on life's foibles and silliness. Jo appeared on Question Time and wrote two national newspaper columns while the tabloids pursued her relentlessly for her outspoken views. Her fan base continued to grow and, defying the red tops' brash assumption, she married and became a mother. Jo made regular TV appearances on shows such as Countdown, Parkinson, Trinny and Susannah, as well as learning to rally drive and playing the organ at the Royal Albert Hall. An absorbing read, full of hilarious stories and fascinating insight into one of Britain's best-loved comedians.
