With a sharp eye for the absurd, Jo was one of the first women on the stand-up comedy circuit, fearlessly tackling taboos about the female body and violence against women, as well as directing much of her comedy against herself: So how did a clever young girl with a seemingly idyllic country childhood drop out of school at 17, retrain as a psychiatric nurse and then end up topping the comedy circuit? Jo joins Jenni to discuss her life and career. Look Back In Hunger, the Autobiography is published by Headline Review. ISBN: 978-07-553-5523-5
