Amazon.co.uk Review
Jo Brand Barely Live is an absolutely straightforward record of a stand-up gig, with no frills at all, which is all you need from a comic such as Jo Brand. Here we get a coherent view of life, vigorously expressed: no wild flights of comic invention, but lots of sardonic bitching about men, feminism, weight problems and an absolute refusal to pretend to be nice or girly or polite.

This London gig includes Brand's views on What Not to Wear, incontinence and improved types of Barbie doll. She talks about having small children and about what to think about when having sex with your husband (among other things, she recommends trying to list the cast of The Magnificent Seven). This is alternative comedy with everything exactly as advertised on the packet--it's also painfully real and funny. --Roz Kaveney

Synopsis
Laughs with Jo Brand recorded at her one-off show at the Adelphi Theatre, London in September 2003.

Customer Reviews

Disappointed!
I agree with the previous reviewer, this isn't the old Jo Brand because --- she's just not funny and aside from one or two chuckles, she fails to entertain.
Sort it out Jo!

Jo goes soft
Jo takes inspiration from the recent changes in her life to focus on homelife, husbands and babies, babies, babies. It's not the old Jo we all loved but if these topics appeal then you are likely to enjoy it. I just wish that she would stand still for longer.
