Not many women will go out on a limb to make themselves really unattractive and unfeminine so you can get the laughs, but it's a great thing to do in my book.

I just don't like travelling very much.

I find it difficult to judge myself, but people say that I have become a bit more socially acceptable over the years in terms of my material which apparently at the beginning - though I never really intended it to be - was man hating and now is just a bit more cuddly.

Having children is fab. They keep me young and make me get up in the morning.

I've never been a fan of euphemism.

Television provokes strong opinions, and sometimes we try a bit too hard to appeal to everyone.
Jo Brand
Image
I like the purity of stand-up because it is all about whether people laugh at your jokes. Either they laugh or they don't.

I must be an anorexic because an anorexic looks in the mirror and sees a fat person.
Jo Brand
Image
Even when I wasn't overweight I was never one of those girls or women who wanted to look nice. I always thought it wasn't important.

Fat people are brilliant in bed. If I'm sitting on top of you, who's going to argue?

I don't know if we will ever try again because those sort of things are very hard to organise but yes, I've known Doon for years and John as well but I hadn't met Will before, and he turned out to be a good laugh.

I used to do bell ringing in Benenden church. It was really good fun, actually. My best friend's dad was the local vicar, and so it was expected as her best friend that I would go to church every Sunday with her.
