4. Clothes

Jo acknowledges she is a bit weird about clothes because she doesn’t like them much and can’t be bothered with them, except her lucky steel toe-capped boots.

She is keen to point out that - whatever else you may be if you’re female - you are not what you wear.

Jo Brand turns advice giver in a typically irreverent guide to life.

She says she's messed up enough times to feel confident she has no wisdom to offer anyone. But who cares? She's doing it anyway.

Jo’s memoir reveals a side of herself that we don’t normally hear - the things she wishes she'd known and the things she hopes for the future.

As you’d expect, she pulls no punches.

Written and read by Jo Brand.
