Edinburgh Fringe - 2006


During August and September, the paperback version of Janey's autobiography
Handstands in the Dark was a UK Top Ten bestseller.

SHORT, SHARP. SHOCKING
The most outspoken female stand-up in Britain and the most ribald and refreshing comedy talent to have risen from the slums of Glasgow since Billy Connolly. (Daily Telegraph, 10th August 2006)


Janey's three daily stage shows

"As challenging and honest as ever." (The List)


"Fascinating tales... raw, near-the-knuckle... compelling... They will have you transfixed" (Chortle)


"An enjoyable success" (one4review.com)


"Spectacularly revealing and honest" (Mackenzie Crook)


True tales and breathtaking personal honesty from "Scotland's funniest woman... there is nothing Godley is afraid to say" (The Scotsman)


"Free-flowing chat based on the incident-crammed internet blog about her life (including an uproariously entertaining anecdote about kissing George Clooney at this year's Bafta awards)" (Daily Telegraph)


"Part highlights from two years of fast/ furious blogging, part live diary of Janey's dramatic offline life, but also an admission of the real reason Janey started to talk to strangers. From the Owlman of Glasgow and the MI5 man in London to beating up a cerebral palsy pervert in New Zealand and trying to prevent mass-murder by a US soldier inside Abu Ghraib Prison, Iraq, while getting naked. It's all true... Tremendous. PLUS what happened to Janey today at the Fringe. Every show is different. "Expect stories so preposterous they cannot possibly be true, except with Godley they are" (London Evening Standard)


"Enlivened by Godley’s fiery spark" (Metro)


"Hilarious... Outrageous... SEE IT!" (Daily Mirror)

"Extraordinarily funny and moving... Godley proves herself a phenomenal actress... a masterclass in how to put together a one person show. " (broadwaybaby.com).


"Thought-provoking, absorbing and occasionally funny," (EdinburghGuide.com)


"Acutely observed ... plenty of pitch black comedy here... moments of pure pain" (The Herald)


"Great subtlety ...powerful" (SkinnyFest)


"Dark and dramatic" (Three Weeks)


"Delivered with the guts and force of personality of Godley" (Metro)

At 13, Ashley Storrie was the Fringe's youngest comic. ("Barbed with cynicism beyond her years" - Sunday Telegraph) Now she returns aged 20 with her acclaimed stand-up-playwright-actress-bestselling-author mum Janey Godley ("The funniest mum on earth" - New Zealand Herald). No comedy double act you have ever seen before can prepare you for the shock of Janey Godley & Ashley Storrie in... SQUARE STREET - politically, religiously, morally and fiercely offensive.


"Inevitably comparable to 'Little Britain', SQUARE STREET is far funnier."(Three Weeks)


"A biting, bare-faced assault on the Fringe - the sine qua non of political incorrectness" (The Scotsman)


"Bawdily eccentric low-life character skits" (Daily Telegraph)


"Downright offensive" (Chortle)


"Possibly the most outrageous mother and daughter act ever." (Glasgow Evening Times)
