Jo Brand is one of Britain's funniest & best-loved comedians. With a sharp eye for the absurd & in her own unique voice she tells her story for the first time. What possessed her to become a professional comedian in the cut-throat world of st&-up comedy after ten years as a psychiatric nurse? How did she deal with late night drunken audiences? From her early years growing up in a small south coast town with two brothers who toughened her up to emerging on stage as ' The Sea Monster' Jo Brand tells it like it is with wit & candour.
