I have suddenly realised that being me is dull…so why write a blog then? I hear you ask…well sometimes exciting things happen.
Like last weekend when I was in Groucho and the lovely sexy pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor came over and told me she loved my comedy work.
Her boy friend nodded in agreement, he is the bass player with the group ‘The Feeling’.

I was stunned that she has ever seen me on stage but she definitely had…I told her I loved her work, especially that song ‘Murder on the Dance Floor’ as me being from the rough part of Glasgow I had actually seen a murder on a dance floor! She laughed…her man said he loved my YOUTUBE comedy clips and I sat there amazed that they knew who I was!

The second funny weird thing that happened was I got an email from a woman who told me that after reading my autobiography she and her mates had gone on a ‘Janey Godley’ tour.
They went up to my old home in Shettleston that is mentioned in the book and my old pub in the Calton, so they could revisit all the places I had written about!
I was slightly shocked and laughed (I couldn’t think what else to do when I read it)
So there we have it…some weird stuff and some odd stuff at the same time.

Just to update, my show at East Kilbride Theatre has sold out but my one woman show at Glasgow Comedy Festival at the Garage Venue on March 8th has tickets
Still available.

The Hackney Empire was full of crazy comics last night. The show was to pay tribute to the amazing Malcolm Hardee and loads of lovely comics turned up to do their stuff.
I was there in attendance as hostess in the green room and I really dislike alcohol and people who drink alcohol! Not really the ideal job for me….especially as I ran a bar for 15 years….you would think I would have gotten over that shit eh?

The celebrity gangster Dave Courtney was one of the compares of the night and he is so fucking funny and over the top I can’t begin to tell you how hilarious he is…
He dresses so fancy and dandy he looks like Elton John! I swear he had three dress changes, one outfit was a cream brocade suit, the other was a blue shiny jacket and at one point he was clad in vivid purple…he had more dress changes than Shirley Bassey on a Bond Sing a long!

I was in the kitchen pouring drinks at one point and Dave came in made a mess with cheese that scattered all over the floor, I stood there and shouted “For fucksake Dave, I just cleaned that floor”
He smiled and said in front of everyone there “Babes clean it up darlin’, that’s what women do, that’s how I treat my women” I knew he was being funny and he isn’t really that rude, he was playing up for his mates.

Everyone there stared at me; I looked at him, held out the wee dustpan and brush and said quietly “Please brush that”
He leaned down in his bright cream brocade suit and started to clean and I put my feet on his back and said “And that’s how I treat my men”

He laughed his ass off and we actually hit it off, he does like being bossed around with women and with my old gangster connections I knew just how to treat him right back. I did actually like him and he is irrepressibly polite and funny to be with which did surprise me….so it just goes to show you cannot judge people too quickly!

Jo Brand was also on the bill and she is wonderfully funny and nice to chat to, there were some newer comics there and one young female called Helen Keen was fucking awesome. Watch out for her name on the comedy scene, she is just wickedly funny.

I had a great night and enjoyed the show even though I was supposed to be working, John Fleming who helped on Malcolm’s autobiography “I Stole Freddy Mercury’s Birthday Cake” organised the whole thing and he did a great job pulling it all together.

So now I am home and husband made a big stew dinner which was lovely as when I am away I live on chocolate!

Sorry I have been missing in action, been here in London and doing stuff!

I am staying in a wonderful apartment over looking West London, but I do get lonely here at times and wander around room to room talking to myself!
The people at Crown Lawn serviced apartments really look after me, the place is awesome.

I am out tonight helping at the Malcolm Hardee Tribute Show.

Tonight at the Hackney Empire there is an amazing show in honour of the late Great Malcolm Hardee. Big comedy hitters like Jo Brand, Norman Lovett and Phil Kay will tread the funny boards to celebrate Malcolm’s life.
For those unaware of the fabulous man, he was the Father of Alternative comics in UK, he was to comedy what John Peel was to music and he died in his beloved River Thames in January 2005.
He was a great comic promoter and anarchic prankster; he was there at the forefront of the stand up comedy boom in the late 90s and early 80s.
He started and managed many of the household names in UK comedy today, like Paul Merton and Jo Brand.

Last night I went out for a quick drink at the Groucho club and met the fabulous Sophie Ellis –Bextor, she is spectacularly beautiful and her boyfriend is the bass player in the group The Feeling. Turns out Sophie has seen me on stage and told me she loved the comedy stuff I do….I was astounded! A lovely pop star likes me comedy! I felt famous for two minutes! I loved her song ‘Murder on The Dance Floor’ as I recall days in Glasgow when there was a murder on the dance floor! (Joking….kinda!)

Other good news is my one woman show at East Kilbride Theatre has SOLD OUT!
So today I am sitting here feeling a wee bit sick but not due to alcohol or anything as I don’t drink much, I think I ate something dodgy and that’s horrid.

I am off home to Glasgow tomorrow and can’t wait to see my own house and my own telly and my own sofa and…..of course husband!

Best wishes Janey Godley

Well as predicted in my blog two days ago, Jade Goody is reported in the press as being ‘suicidal’ I did say that her next step at attention and retribution would be her threatening an attempt on her life.

The Scottish Sun screams the headline today January 22nd - ‘Jade on The Brink’ and reports that the Big Brother star is on the brink of taking her own life.
This can only be a reflection on society yet again.

This woman was originally feted by the British Press since her first release from Big Brother in 2002.
She never won Big Brother back then, so why is this woman worth so much to the media?
I assume that Miss Goody was famous for being ‘fat, common and ignorant’ and for that reason the public took her to their hearts. She wouldn’t change for no one!
If Jade is happy about who she is and honest about how she looks then why did she get so much liposuction and surgery to change her appearance?
She could have spent the cash on expanding her vocabulary and learning more about other cultures.

She left the Big Brother house and embarked on a spate of reality type shows including ‘What Jade did next’ then subsequently released her autobiography and launched a perfume called ‘Shh’. It has been recently withdrawn from the Perfume Shop, due to the racism outcry.

She was so popular with young girls all over the UK and treated to Celeb status within the industry. Is this really what we want young people to emulate?
Who now wants to be like Jade Goody?

Now since her very public tumble from grace, she has no where to turn.

She is reported as saying “I have no career after this, I have ruined my career entirely”

I have no idea what that career was…I admire people who come from talent shows and make it in the big bad world of entertainment but when that person has no actual talent I get angry.

Jade talking on various chat shows, shagging men who then equally become famous for bedding her, her mum becomes famous for being a bad parent …the list goes on!

When it all comes down to it, Jade being Jade is an awfully frightening reality in itself.

Endemol the production company that is responsible for Big Brother had invested so much in Jade that it too is now reviewing its future with the big mouthed bully.
She is no longer ‘hot’ she is in fact suicidal and frightened for her kids life.

This is a terrible turn around for any woman to bear and I do sympathise BUT…talent and integrity should be the reason people become famous and rich.

The one person who will shine throughout this experience is Shilpa Shetty, the graceful Indian actress.
Her intelligence, beauty and class overcame the guttersnipes and that is a wonderful lesson to every young girl who studies hard, behaves with honour and is true to herself.

That is something I want young women to look up to.
