Good Godley

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.

Janey Godley Is Innocent

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.
