Some of the sharpest-elbowed comedy in the world...featuring the hard-bitten Glaswegian comedian Janey Godley. CLICK

FOR FULL REVIEW
While others might choose to keep the more disturbing aspects of their past confidential, Godley turns them into award-winning stand-up comedy....Never knowing if Godley will get to the end of a set without being busted (by the police) adds a piquancy that tends to be missing from, say, watching a Puppetry of the Penis gig.

Godley is foul-mouthed, sarcastic and so down-to-earth she's underground, but she has a spark of surrealism. Independent on Sunday, 15th August 2004
Janey Godley, has been told that she risks arrest if she continues with her stand-up show, Good Godley. CLICK
FOR DETAILS
This is real cutting edge comedy and Godley goes into areas others would need a social worker, three counsellors and a police dog to even think about. CLICK

Her
stories are of midnight police raids, Semtex in the laundry room and
encounters with the battle-scarred members of the Glasgow razor gangs.
But
Godley also lets you into the tale of her own sexual abuse, her relationship
with her public school-educated daughter, and her inner dialogue with
the big black man who lives inside her head. Her
patter is as quick and confident as you would expect from a woman who
knows how to talk to men whose faces have been slashed from ear to ear.
Godley has the ear of a natural storyteller and a fearless line in: 'I can’t believe she just said that' punchlines which have the audience screaming with laughter. Despite
her claims to be 'Good Godley', she has a tendency to opt for punchlines
such as "and so I had him killed", and to cut short anecdotes
that will give too much information to the police. And you can’t
quite credit her wide eyed claims that she knew nothing about the arms
cache in the tumble drier. CLICK

Take equal pinches of Billy Connolly and Jerry Sadowitz and you are getting some way towards the storytelling genius of Godley and her candid tales of drugs, sex and death. Evening Standard, 30th July 2004 |
