WHAT she OFFERS YOU
Sussed, polemic, deceptively droll, with a razor-sharp perspective on all that is sexist and "sizeist", Jo's popularity is well deserved. In her performances, she tackles things that irritate her most, questioning the logic behind such diverse topics as teenage boys, keeping fit and sex. Jo Brand is an outstanding corporate speaker, brilliant event host and side-splitting after dinner speaker.
