Comedienne JO BRAND - SUCCESS!!! - 2015年9月8日 Jo Brand has been one of my favourite alternative comediennes since I first saw her T.V show, Jo Brand Through The Cakehole, in 1993 on Channel 4.
Shortly after the series ended she went on a UK stand-up tour and one of her gigs was at my home town, so my Dad and I decided to go and see her. Super funny and a night I'll never forget.
58 year old Jo is still on the stand-up scene and regularly appears on T.V.
Jo was persuaded by an agent to attempt stand-up comedy and was given the stage name of "The Sea Monster".
Due to her appearance - short hair, Plus Size figure, often wearing a baggy black T-shirt underneath a pair of Dungarees with Doc Martens - the media falsely labelled her a lesbian. Jo is happily married with two daughters.
Prior to stand-up she'd worked as a psychiatric nurse for 10 years. She drew upon her experiences from this stage of her career while writing the comedy series, Getting On. The series was such a success that a U.S version was adapted, of which Jo was one of the Executive Producers.
I sent her a 3 page A5 LOR, 1 A4 photo, 6"x4" index card, SASE.
