Come in, come in, park your arses, stop fannying about. Janey gets the audience organised before the show's even started and will soon let you know if you're not doing it right.
This time she had American comic Matt Davis open, a short spot on his confusion of how we do things in Scotland. very funny.
Godley is a one-off, just playing herself and telling stories. Warm, human, unable to suffer fools and bitingly critical of the likes of Trump and the idiots behind brexshit. Stories from her home life, comedy work, travelling around. She feeds off her observations of life, relationships and encounters. All in a hard boiled Glasgow wifie persona that fires out dead pan gag after gag.
Janey took a seat with her back to the audience to perform some of her now famed voiceovers which have become a huge social media hit. Short clips of Trump, May, Johnson, Sturgeon, and many others are reduced to comic figures by the words she puts in their mouths. Soup pots, caravans and the Sandras feature highly in the repertoire.
There's nobody quite like Godley, and her shows are jam packed each night. It's a Free Fringe show so you have to queue to get in - be there early. About an hour early if you want a good seat. She's worth it.
Godley on the Fringe is on at the Counting House until 25 August.
