STAND-UP comedienne Jo Brand visited Liverpool on a “sit-down” tour signing her new autobiography.
Look Back In Hunger charts her childhood, life as a psychiatric nurse and ends as her showbusiness career begins.
“That is because I have signed up to write book two,” she said at Waterstone’s, Bold Street.
Speaking as a mother of two young children, Brand said memories of her own teenage days were a worry. She said: “As I was fine when I was seven, it does not presage well for the future.
“I suppose I should have knuckled down and been a doctor, but I love what I do.
“Had I not been a rebel, I would not be doing this, as we are the sum of our experiences.
“If this all ended, I would become a taxi-driver, as I love driving around and would have an audience.”
Brand is not sticking to the makeover rules inflicted by TV fashion experts Trinny and Susannah.
She said: “They said never wear black again. As you can see, I wear nothing else. The book was not therapy and neither is my act. I just want to make people have a laugh.”
