AN EDEN COURT IN EXILE EVENT
JANEY GODLEY IN
GOOD GODLEY!
FRIDAY 19 JANUARY 2007 8.00PM
AT THE CROWN COURT HOTEL, INVERNESS

Famously outspoken stand-up Janey Godley is to play an Eden Court In Exile show at Inverness’s Crown Court Hotel.

Recently nominated for Scotswoman Of The Year by Glasgow’s Evening Times, Janey is a comedienne, best selling writer and raconteur. Her act is darkly funny and very candid, drawing upon her extraordinary, life story.

Janey has taken her stand-up shows Good Godley! and Janey Godley Is Innocent from the Edinburgh Fringe to London's West End. She appeared in her own one-woman play The Point of Yes to critical acclaim in the West End and has performed her shows to long-term prisoners in Scottish jails.

Janey writes an award-winning online blog, has written for a number of print publications. She is a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends and also appeared on the daily Channel 4/E4 reality show Kings of Comedy.

In 2005, her non-humorous autobiography Handstands in the Dark was published. The book tells the story of her tough pre-showbiz life, including the period when she married into a Glasgow gangster family. Handstands In The Dark became a number 3 bestseller in Scotland and was voted a "Best Read of 2005" by listeners of BBC Radio 4's Open Book series.

In August 2006, she performed three separate 60-minute shows every day at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival: The Point of Yes, Janey Godley's Blog - Live!. and Square Street a controversial comedy sketch show performed and written with her daughter Ashley Storrie. All three shows received 4-star reviews.

In the same year she also won the Spirit Of The Festival Award at the New Zealand International Comedy festival, and made a memorable appearance on Children In Need covering a Proclaimers’ classic with singing partner
Craig Hill.
