Godley's World
Janey Godley
All the world’s a stage for the globetrotting Glasgow comedian, bestselling author, playwright, columnist and award-winning blogger. Janey has performed her multi-award-winning comedy shows everywhere from off-Broadway in New York to acclaim this year in New Zealand. Now she tells her true travel tales from Holland to Holyrood to Hollywood. Everything from Jesus attacking her leg in New York to meeting a tiger in New Zealand; from anarchy in Disneyland to death on a bleak Highland train.
