Janey Godley is a comic with the common touch – her final tour is as much communion as standup

Not Dead Yet addresses the return of Godley’s ovarian cancer. But mostly it is a celebratory farewell from a performer who has welcomed the crowd into her remarkable life

N ot Dead Yet is Janey Godley ’s last tour, she has announced. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2021 and given the all-clear after treatment – but the cancer has since returned. That’s a very particular context in which to perform a comedy show; one might expect Godley’s mortality to cast a long shadow. But it doesn’t. OK, so the night begins with what Godley’s daughter and support act Ashley Storrie describes as a “sad funeral montage” of snapshots from the 62-year-old’s life. And yes, she addresses her health at the top of the show, with lots of jokes about the state of her “fanny” and a story about her husband bringing her the wrong sort of underwear for a hospital stay.

But her illness isn’t the focus of the show. If this is Godley taking her leave, she wants to leave us with happy memories, of a comic who found a place, particularly in Scottish hearts, and carved her own niche. Until recently that niche was all about earthy stories – spread across memoir, a novel and standup comedy – of an extraordinary working-class life: a childhood lived in extreme poverty, a murdered mother, marriage into a notorious gangster family. Latterly she won a legion of new fans with a series of viral videos in which she dubbed Nicola Sturgeon’s lockdown-era press conferences into gossipy broad Glaswegian.

Whether it’s the autobiographical comedy from a still rare working-class female perspective, or those videos that kept Scotland laughing through a dark time, Godley has formed an uncommon bond with her audience, which performances like these fortify. Gestures such as the pre-show montage, and sharing the stage with Storrie, are about more than comedy: they’re letting the audience into Godley’s own life. So too a sentimental singalong at the end, which is ostensibly a tribute to the comic’s long-dead mum – but no one in the room is missing the resonances with Godley’s own current challenges, as we’re invited to join in on Labi Siffre’s Something Inside So Strong.

The song ends a section all about Godley’s “mammy”, who is cast as an avenging not-quite-angel in one story when infant Janey is punched in the eye by her school headmistress. The strength of these tales of a 1960s childhood are precisely that they feel beamed in from another world, estranged from many of ours not just by class but by distance in time. There’s no doubt, too, that Godley is a mean raconteur – more so on this evidence than a joke-writer. She leans heavily for laughs on coarseness of expression, or on tenuous generalisations of the “Scottish people do this” or “women don’t do that” variety.

But her stories are vivid enough, and sufficiently packed with hair-raising incident, as to need little garnish of wit. See for example the routine about the gallows-humour trick she invents to get her geriatric dad to do his exercises. Alongside these anecdotes, the middle section is given over to Godley’s video voiceovers: an eclectic mix of current affairs clips (Liz Truss, Meghan Markle, Jacob Rees-Mogg et al) and cute animal footage. Sometimes Godley’s dubbed dialogue feels like a blunt instrument; sometimes, the juxtaposition of image and plain-spoken Glasgow patter is judged to perfect comic effect.

It’s one of those gigs, finally, that feels as much communion as comedy, as Godley’s audience seize the chance to see her and share in her stories, unsure whether they’ll get to do so again. She’s not able, she tells us at the curtain call, to come out post-show for a meet-and-greet. Her chemotherapy treatment forbids it. But the preceding hour on stage was already a meet-and-greet of sorts, as this direct and unpretentious performer welcomed the audience, without ceremony, into her remarkable life – for what may be the last time.

Janey Godley: Not Dead Yet is at Leicester Square theatre, London , 17 and 18 March

Janey Godley Embarks on Tour with Her Documentary Film

Renowned comedian Janey Godley is set to accompany her new documentary with stand-up performances and Q&A sessions across Scotland.

Film Premiere and Tour Dates

Janey’s documentary, titled simply “Janey,” will premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival on March 10, followed by a tour across Scotland. The tour kicks off in St Andrews on March 16 and concludes in Dundee on April 20, with ten screenings in total.

Emotional Journey

The film captures Janey’s emotional journey during her “Not Dead Yet” tour while battling terminal ovarian cancer. The climax occurs during a poignant hometown performance at Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo.

Janey expresses her sentiments:

“After all I’ve been through these past two years, the film has been the energy boost I needed to pick me up. I hope everyone enjoys the highs and lows of the documentary, there’s laughter and, more than anything, friendship.”

From Fame to Adversity

Known for her sweary anti-Trump placards and viral revoicing of Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid briefings, Janey faced backlash for past racist tweets amid her newfound fame. She was dropped from certain ads, such as the Scottish public health campaign and faced a ton of social media hostility.

Insightful Documentary

Directed by John Archer, the film features behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with notable figures like Jimmy Carr and Nicola Sturgeon. Janey’s daughter Ashley, a comedian and producer of the film, also contributes and their close relationship could be seen more in the film itself.

Interactive Screenings

At select screenings at the Glasgow Film Festival, Janey will share outtakes, engage in Q&A sessions, and deliver her signature stand-up routine, providing audiences with an immersive experience.

Tour and Documentary Details

Janey’s tour dates coincide with the film screenings, promising an unforgettable evening of entertainment and insight into her remarkable journey. For more information on Janey and how she faced her cancer diagnosis with humour, check out our other article HERE !

We are just excited to see her inspiring journey on the big screen! While waiting for Janey’s documentary why not head on over to Big Belly Comedy Club to satisfy your comedy appetite. We’ve got great live comedy shows 7 nights a week and we’ve got a lot of drinks just to make sure the night is extra fun, so join in!

Janey Godley: The Not Dead Yet Tour

• Thu 1 Feb 19:30 Auditorium Seated Past event

Janey Godley is ‘still alive, by popular demand’ and will be bringing her, emotive and hilarious brand-new show, ‘Not Dead Yet’ to England, following her recent sell-out tour of Scotland. There will be voiceovers and anecdotes, straight from the woman wouldn’t die or shut up.

Join Janey as she’s back, and doing what she does best!

A few words from Janey:

“The past few years has been like a giant “Wordle” game that has swept the nation, I went from “cancel to cancer” in 6 weeks. No,I didn’t smack a man live at the Oscars, in front of millions of people, but I have apologised profusely for historic offensive tweets from over 11 years ago and ended up as the torn worn out pass the parcel for tribal politics in Scotland. All my own doing, but now it’s time to laugh, live and celebrate after dealing this dreadful disease.

I suffered severe mental illness during the online onslaught and whilst on my tour in 2021, I found a giant tumour in my ovary giblets and had to FIGHT to stay alive. Never one for the conventional path in life, I am still NOT DEAD YET and bringing my tour back on the road. So many stories of heart-warming love and outpouring of support to the occasional daily messages hoping I might die soon because…well I am a woman who answered back.

Doors: 19:00 Performance Starts: 19:30 Tickets: From £19 Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult To find out more about accessibility at The Fire Station visit our Access page .

The trailer for a new feature documentary about the life of comedian Janey Godley has been released.

Following its world premiere at the closing gala for Glasgow Film Festival 2024, audiences across Scotland will have a unique chance to see the film, titled Janey, on the big screen followed by live stand-up from the woman herself.

Janey: On Screen & On Stage will see the comic reflecting upon life growing up in Glasgow and overcoming personal tragedy to become one of Scotland’s most celebrated comedians. 

The documentary by John Archer about the comic shows how Janey found fame for her sweary anti-Trump placards and became a social media sensation as she revoiced then first minister Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid briefings.

“First I was cancelled, then I got cancer,” Janey notes as she recalls being called out for racist historic tweets, apologising and then trying to rebuild her career before receiving her diagnosis. 

That didn’t stop her from going on tour and Archer interweaves fly-on-the-wall footage with interviews from people such as Jimmy Carr, Nicola Sturgeon, and Janey’s daughter, Ashley. 

Following the tour screenings, audiences will have the opportunity to experience Janey’s award-winning comedy in person as she steps from screen to stage to perform a live set, share exclusive and hilarious outtakes from the film and answer questions from the crowd. 

“After all I’ve been through these past two years, the film has been the energy boost I needed to pick me up” Janey said. “I hope everyone enjoys the highs and lows of the documentary, there’s laughter and, more than anything, friendship. It’s a love letter to my pals and I can’t wait to see it on the big screen.” 

The tour, which is supported by Screen Scotland, will visit Younger Hall, St Andrews on March 16, Beacon Theatre, Greenock on March 20, Glasgow Film Theatre on March 23, Macrobert Arts Centre in Stirling on April 5, Edinburgh’s Queens on April 6, Bo’ness Hippodrome on April 7, Eden Court, Inverness on April 12, Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy on April 13, Lanternhouse, Cumbernauld on April 14 and the Gardyne Theatre in Dundee on April 20.

Janey will be released in cinemas across the country from March 15.

Janey Godley ‘Why is She Still Here?’ @ Kelso Tait Hall

Controversy, cancellation, and cancer don’t always make the best comedy but in Janey’s hands this will be a dynamite of a gig.

Her feet are numb, and she has a lumpy hernia because of the cancer treatment, but she keeps going!

“I can’t believe I’m still alive” she says as many horrid trolls on twitter claim she’s faking cancer “if I was going to fake something it would have been the orgasms I keep having when I realise, they’re obsessed with me!”

Voiceovers, comedy, and outrageous stories are on the menu. DON’T MISS IT. BOOK NOW!

TV star Davina McCall joins Dundee audience for Janey Godley show

Some of those in the audience thought it was a lookalike for the former Big Brother star.

Former Big Brother host Davina McCall joined an audience in Dundee to watch a show by comedian Janey Godley.

The TV star visited the city with her partner Michael Douglas to watch the stand-up in action on Thursday night.

Godley, who is touring her Not Dead Yet show, took to social media following the show to share a picture with McCall.

The comic was appearing at Dundee’s Gardyne Theatre for the second night after earlier performances in Glenrothes, Dunfermline, Perth and Abroath.

McCall confirmed to fans she was in the city as her “mum-in-law lives here”.

Simon Hewitt, principal of Dundee and Angus College – which runs the Gardyne – tweeted to express his delight at having “two legends under one roof”.

Both @ThisisDavina AND Janey Godly in the @dundee_angus building last night! Two legends under one roof! We are lucky to have the amazing @GardyneTheatre facility. 💜💙 https://t.co/00hEk4A1VK — Simon Hewitt (@shewittDA) March 3, 2023

One Twitter user responded to Godley’s post to say she had spotted someone who resembled the TV presenter, saying: “We were in front of you but thought you were just someone who looked like Davina McCall.”

Another fan said: “Couldn’t believe my luck getting to see you on stage tonight and being sat next to Davina. You were great Janey.”

McCall posted on her own Twitter page to say: “This was the greatest show. We laughed so hard and cried too.”

Earlier in the day, Godley’s daughter and fellow comic Ashley Storrie, who appears on stage during the tour, shared a picture of her mum outside Dundee’s Fisher and Donaldson bakery.

Spotted @JaneyGodley who’s on a diet sulking outside a Dundee bakery pic.twitter.com/K7CHLfNqq2 — Ashley Storrie (@ashleystorrie) March 2, 2023

Teasing her mum, she said: “Spotted Janey Godley who’s on a diet sulking outside a Dundee bakery.”

Godley, 62, is currently receiving chemotherapy after sharing in December that her cancer had returned.

Janey Godley to tour with her film

Stand-up and Q&As to accompany new documentary

Janey Godley has confirmed the dates where she will be performing stand-up to accompany the new documentary film about her life.

Chortle last month reported how the feature, entitled simply Janey, would get its premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival on March 10, followed by a tour of Scotland.

Now it has been announced that Godley will appear at ten screenings, starting at St Andrews on March 16 and ending in Dundee on April 20.  Other screenings have also been confirmed, at which the comic will not be performing.

The film follows Godley on her Not Dead Yet tour as she is treated for terminal ovarian cancer, culminating in an emotional hometown show at Glasgow's 3,000-seat SEC Armadillo.

She said: ‘After all I’ve been through these past two years, the film has been the energy boost I needed to pick me up.

‘I hope everyone enjoys the highs and lows of the documentary, there’s laughter and, more than anything, friendship. It’s a love letter to my pals and I can’t wait to see it on the big screen.’

After years on the stand-up circuit, Godley  found fame for her sweary anti-Trump placards and became a social media sensation as she revoiced First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid briefings.  But her new fame brought new scrutiny and she was called out for racists tweets she had made in the past. 

‘First I was cancelled, then I got cancer,’ the comic notes in the film as she tried to  rebuild her career before receiving her diagnosis.

Made by John ​Archer – former head of music and arts at BBC Scotland – the film interweaves fly-on-the-wall footage with interviews from people such as Jimmy Carr , Nicola Sturgeon, and Janey's daughter, Ashley, a comedian who is also a producer of the film.

Where Godley attends the screenings she will also share outtakes from the film and answer questions from the crowd, as well as performing her stand-up.

Godley’s tour dates are here , and details of all screenings are here .
