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.

Written and read by Jo Brand.

Abridged and produced by Pippa Vaughan
