Since leaving her
job as a psychiatric nurse in 1987, Jo has built a large following
across the UK, male and female alike. Her "Through the Cakehole"
(Channel X for Ch4) series met with great acclaim, as did her 1996
series "All the Way to Worcester" (Vera Prods for Ch4). Her diverse
appeal is marked by appearances on such eclectic programmes as "Question
Time" (BBC) to "Nevermind the Buzzcocks" (TalkBack Prods for BBC) and
"Countdown" (YTV for Ch4) to "They Think It's All Over" (TalkBack Prods
for BBC). She presented "Jo Brand's Commercial Breakdown" (Celador for
BBC1) and her new series, "Jo Brand's Hot Potatoes" (Assembly Film & TV)
has been very well received.
In 1992 she went
on to conquer Edinburgh where she was nominated for the Perrier Award
during the festival. She has won various awards over the years,
including The British Comedy Award for Best Live Performer, which
propelled her to our TV screens, and onto nationwide success.
Jo has written two
irreverent books (both published by Simon & Schuster), "A Load of Old
Balls" and "A Load of Old Ball Crunchers", about leading men and women
of history, and her first novel "Sorting Out Billy" is published later
this year.
She recently
presented her own show 'Jo Brand's Commercial Breakdown' and has been on
numerous TV shows, including 'They Think It's All Over' and was the
first comedian to ever appear on 'Question Time'. Jo showed a whole
different side to her talents on Celebrity Fame Academy for Comic Relief
2003!
Jo is a great
cabaret artist for corporate events. |
