Janey Godley
Born and brought up in the East End of Glasgow; at the age of nineteen Janey married into a Glasgow gangster family.
For fourteen years, she and her husband ran a pub in the Calton area of Glasgow where she staged the first performances by comedian
and magician Jerry Sadowitz. She later became a full-time stand-up comic herself, ran comedy clubs in Glasgow and regularly compered
at clubs in Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool.
In April 2004, she started writing her daily on-line blog which continues today on 126 sites worldwide.
In one seven day period in December 2006, it got 590,247 hits. Her comedy breakthrough came in August that year, when she performed
her much acclaimed sixty minute stand-up show Good Godley!, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In October that year she appeared for a
fortnight on the daily Channel 4/E4 reality show Kings of Comedy.
Janey won the Spirit of The Festival Award at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival 2006 and Good Godley! was nominated as
Best International Show. In December she was also nominated by the New Zealand Comedy Guild as Best International Guest of 2006.
In October 2006, Janey Godley was nominated as 'Scotswoman of the Year' and in an open public vote she became the runner-up.
