Work in Progress

Join Jo Brand as she takes to the road to try out new material along

with her special guest, Andy Robinson.

Firmly established as one of the UK’s best and most-loved comics, for the last twelve years Jo has been best known as the host of The Great British Bake Off: An Extra
Slice (Channel 4).

Jo also starred in and co-wrote Getting On, the BBC’s BAFTA-award-winning series set on a hospital ward for the elderly, which was partly inspired by her earlier career in nursing, and Damned, which aired on Channel 4, was set in a social work office.

Jo has also starred in Taskmaster (Dave) and can often be seen hosting Have I Got News for You (BBC One) and appearing on QI (BBC Two) and Would I Lie To You? (BBC One). Her other television credits include Jo Brand’s Hot Potatoes (BBC One), the award-winning Through the Cakehole (Channel 4).

Jo has also written several highly acclaimed, best-selling books: Can’t Stand Up For Sitting Down, Look Back In Hunger, and The More You Ignore Me, which was adapted into a feature film and released in 2018. Her ninth book, Decline And Falling Over is out on November 5th 2026.
