Janey Godley (Scotland) in “The Godley Hour”

The Queen of Scottish comedy is back with a brand new hour at the NZ International Comedy Festival.

It’s not hard to understand the comparisons with Billy Connolly. Janey Godley is also from Glasgow, has a colourful vocabulary, tells wild rambling stories about her misadventures and has a love affair with New Zealand audiences. To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the NZ International Comedy Festival we have invited Janey back for the 4th time to perform a brand new hour at Wellington’s San Francisco Bathhouse (Apr 30 to May 5) and The Classic in Auckland (May 14 to 19)

Janey’s new show is titled ‘The Godley Hour’. She has been at the epicentre of yet more extraordinary events, personal disasters and strange-but-true happenings. A sex party in LA with the worst buffet, the joy of finding out you may have been responsible for a man's death, a frightening bus trip to Venice Beach, and her recent pregnancy scare, are all part of this year’s hour of fun.

Not only a stand-up comedian, Janey is also a bestselling author, playwright, award-winning podcaster and former columnist for the Scotsman newspaper.

"One of Scotland's finest onstage treasures... Compelling... ballsy... a breath of fresh air" Guardian UK

"The most outspoken female stand-up in Britain... The most ribald and refreshing comedy talent to have risen from the slums of Glasgow since Billy Connolly..." Daily Telegraph

"The funniest mum on earth... you can't help but love this woman... her dry wit and exquisite sense of irony" New Zealand Herald

"Some of the sharpest-elbowed comedy in the world" New York Times
