Jo Brand

One of the UK’s best-loved comedians Jo Brand talks about her darkly funny guide to life as a woman.

Born Lippy is a collection of all the things Brand wishes she had known, had learnt earlier or hopes for the future. It ranges from how to manage a bully to surviving your family, what no-one tells you about the female body, being different, how not to fall in love, feminism, having fun, what to do when it all goes wrong and staying sane.

Brand was a psychiatric nurse before turning to comedy at the age of 30. She has hosted several television shows including Jo Brand Through the Cakehole and The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice and is a regular on many of the BBC’s leading comedy shows including Have I Got News for You, Would I Lie to You and QI. Here she talks to LBC radio host Matthew Stadlen, a former Telegraph interviewer and BBC presenter.
