Godley’s World
Pleasance Dome

Janey Godley’s back with a vengeance, with a whole new repertoire of autobiographical madness from her ‘epicentre of disaster’.

She regales us with tales of her overseas adventures, as she dissects the LA homeless contingent, finds herself stricken with hives and a period on a swine flu infested plane, and acquires stigmata bruises after smoking angel dust and crack.

Godley immediately warms the audience by introducing them as acquaintances as they come through the door.  Her salt of the earth, candid and unapologetic charm has us riveted from start to finish, as she talks about her childhood in Shettleston drinking water out of puddles, and shares her indignation about people’s expectations of female comics.

This is a warm, heartfelt, funky and feisty show.
