BBC Radio 4 - Born Lippy by Jo Brand, 5. Being Different

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

Jo Brand turns advice giver in an irreverent guide to life, concluding with her perspective on "being different".

Jo shares her singular perspective on "being different". 

Whether it was her rebellious teenage years or moving from a nursing career to the stand-up comedy circuit, Jo knows that it’s hard to find out who and what you are - and also in gaining equality for both sexes.  

But she’s hopeful that, as long as we’re on the same page (and that page isn’t 3), there’s scope for great strides forward. 

Jo Brand concludes her typically irreverent guide to life.

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.

Abridged and produced by Pippa Vaughan
