Janey's two daily stage shows

JANEY GODLEY'S
CHAT SHOW

The Green Room
5.00-5.50pm
2nd-26th August 2007


FIVE STARS: "Janey Godley's hilarious chat show takes the audience on a journey of unexpected proportions... An abundance of frank and fearless conversation, conducted with customary ribald authority by Scotland's renaissance woman... paved with comedy gold." (Herald, 6th August 2007)

FOUR STARS: "We know the quality of comedy we get with Janey Godley... she fits into the hostess very well... She has an amazing line-up of guests."
(one4review.com, 15th August 2007)


"Janey Godley has the perfect qualifications for a career as a talk show host... It was Graham Norton's live chat show in Edinburgh 10 years ago which elevated him from cult success to household name and this show could well do the same thing for Godley."
(Guardian, 4th August 2007)

JANEY GODLEY -
TELL IT LIKE IT IS


Pleasance Dome
7.00-8.00pm
1st-27th August


FIVE STARS: "Profoundly touching. A natural storyteller... instinctive comic timing... Janey Godley's talent is immense... wholeheartedly recommended."
(one4review.com, 9th August 2007)

FOUR STARS: "Revealing, honest... hilarious one-liners... her intelligence, flair for storytelling, and razor-sharp wit make this a hot ticket this Fringe." (Chortle, 14th August 2007)

FOUR STARS: "Janey had the audience in hysterics.... A genuinely nice, touching and very, very funny woman – don’t miss this show!" (ScotsGay, 16th August 2007)

FOUR STARS: "She has a fouler mouth than Gordon Ramsay and a deserved reputation for being outspoken, but Janey Godley is also remarkably endearing right from the start... Some of these stories are hilarious, others tragic, but all are fascinating... She'll certainly be the one you'd most like to meet down the pub." (Three Weeks, 7th August 2007)


"It’s easy to warm to Janey Godley... she just seems to enjoy a very friendly rapport with her audience... Audience laughter is punctuated with guilty gasps of horror, but they still demand another story when the show comes to an end. And Godley happily obliges."
(The Stage , 20th August 2007)

"She wants laughs. She gets them. And she deserves every single one"
(Fringe Report, 8th August 2007)

"This excitable Glaswegian comic is honest and kind-hearted but at the same time takes no nonsense... She is a brilliant storyteller... by the end of this satisfying, endearing performance, I think few audience members could claim they weren't won over."
(Edinburgh Festivals magazine, 2007)

"Close to the knuckle... Compelling"
(The List, 8th August)

"Hailed by many as Scotland's funniest woman... keeping her vow to Tell It Like It Is!"
(The List, 19th July-2nd August)

"Our tip for a good night out is the loudmouthed and hilarious Scots comedian Janey Godley in her one-woman show, Tell It Like It Is"
(Scottish Woman magazine, summer issue)

"Scotland's most devilishly outspoken comedy"
(Finchley Times, 6th July, re Janey's London preview of the show)
