Janey

Janey has been a determined fighter all her life – from her tough Glasgow childhood to becoming the much-loved comedian she is now. It was the strength she needed to survive as a woman in the male-dominated comedy clubs of the 1990s. She needed it again when she brought a case against the uncle who’d abused her as a child. From rocky beginnings, Janey started to gain big audiences at home and internationally. She was at her height, and with a soaring online following for her hilarious political voice-overs, when in 2021 hurtful, historic tweets were unearthed which shook her to the core. At the end of the long sell-out tour which followed she received the devastating news she had ovarian cancer. Inspiring, funny, open-hearted, Janey celebrates everything this hilarious and defiant woman is – against the odds – and confirms just why we’ll never want her to shut up.
