“I read that book 'Fat is a Feminist Issue', got a bit desperate halfwa...” — Jo Brand Quote

I read that book 'Fat is a Feminist Issue', got a bit desperate halfway through and ate it.

I'm a Luddite with computers, and I'm slightly worried about being hacked as well.

So, I kind of rather was hoping that people thought it would have a nice mixture of different topics and it also takes in the fact that I've had two children recently.

There's a general sense that women are more relaxed and less defensive in comedy than they used to be. I think it's easier than it was but underlying it all there is still a pretty sexist view of women on stage, which to me hasn't changed that much.

As a comic and as a nurse, it's important to look calm on the surface when you're absolutely crapping yourself inside. So, if someone is waving a machete at you, which has happened to me when I was a nurse, it's important to make that person feel that you're in control.

When I ate slowly and deliberately, giving myself time to consider whether I actually wanted that next bite, I often discovered that I didn't.

I was always a kid trying to make a buck. I borrowed a dollar from my dad, went to the penny candy store, bought a dollar's worth of candy, set up my booth, and sold candy for five cents apiece. Ate half my inventory, made $2.50, gave my dad back his dollar.

Back in the '60s, there was a car sticker that read, 'Forget Oxfam, Feed Twiggy,' but I ate like a horse.

During the strict macrobiotic chapter of my life, I ate miso soup every day for breakfast and sometimes with dinner as well.

I was 16 years old and I'd just come to Munich from Calgary. I was staying in this youth hostel at the club, I couldn't speak a word of German and I ate nothing but schnitzel for the first six months. Life was pretty hard and lonely but I had Beckham on my wall.
