Janey was born 1961 and brought up in Shettleston, in the East End of Glasgow. At the age of 19, she married into a Glasgow gangster family. For 14 years, she and her husband ran the Weavers Inn pub (formerly the Nationalist Bar) in the Calton area of Glasgow where she staged the first performances by comedian and magician Jerry Sadowitz. She later became a full-time stand-up herself, ran comedy clubs including Jesters in Glasgow and regularly compered at clubs in Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool as well as regularly playing dates in the Netherlands and successfully playing to Scots & Irish crowds in Queens, New York City.

Synopsis: | While others might choose to keep the more disturbing aspects of their past confidential, Godley turns them into award-winning stand-up comedy. . ..Never knowing if Godley will get to the end of a set without being busted (by the police) adds a piquancy that tends to be missing from, say, watching a Puppetry of the Penis gig. | |||||

Synopsis: | In August 2004, The Times reported Janey faced arrest and imprisonment. Onstage, she had admitted to a major crime with a maximum penalty of life. Instead, she got rave reviews. Now she claims she was innocent and accuses a member of her family of murder. In a tour de force of improvisational comedy, Janey does "that chatty thing she does" and tells all - truthfully yet totally differently every night. | |||||
