Great interview.

I can't see anything at the end of your link?

Sorry!

Did that work? Anyway, it's on the homepage and MN and its 'older' feminists get a mention

Brilliant article. That story about the advertising agency is just
I love her.

Jo Brand spends an hour a day on Mumsnet!
She likes the user names! Esp EatShitDerek.

^ That one works.

Thanks!

Waves at Jo!

Hey Jo,

waves. I luff you

I’d love her to name the CEO, what an arsehole.

hipster she could tell us anonymously on here

Id saved that article to read later when I can enjoy it.
Love Jo Brand esp when shes acting. Love her expressions and asides - all of which appear totally natural in Getting On .

I was thrilled to be able to speak to her when she led a performance for children in St Pauls Cathedral a few years back. Happily sat my middle aged bum on the floor directly under the dome and listened to her .
(wishes I had a cool user name for Jo to like )

Can I just say though, only an hour a day?

Lightweight

Ooo, is Jo Brand on MN?

I've loved her for years. Since I first got into stand-up comedy when I was about 14. She used to wear red DMs back then. (I had green ones.)

My colleague and I laughed our arses of at Getting On.

Jo's awesome. Big fan.

I love her.

I'd love a clip of that moment where she told the crowd what he'd said.

Tbh I always thought EatShitDerek WAS Jo Brand!

Great interview 😃

I like the idea of Jo posting occasionally on the boards, and it’s nice to see MN spoken about in a non derogatory way in a public place!

Do you think she'll come on here and talk to us?

And is anyone else having a total fan girl moment?

She's great. I've been in the same shops as her many times and she's completely the same in real life. I'm sure she'll be absolutely lovely if when I said we should be friends.

I think eatshitderek was from a ricky gervais sitcom?

well EatShitDerek definitely wore DMs I could tell by her posting style.

👋 Hi Jo!!!

Thought you were amazing in HIGNFY - I was cheering in my living room

Really good.

I love you Jo! Love Getting On! Great to see someone so inspiring championing mumsnet!

As a yes-i-will-die-on-this-fucking-hill-er on a number of "petty" female matters, I loved:
One thing that does drive me mad is when women are called ‘ladies’. It implies a feminine subservience, an obsession with appearance, a waiting to be manoeuvred, a weakness, a quietness. I’ve had to stop myself from shouting, ‘It’s WOMEN!’ many times. It matters to me!”

I love Jo Brand, have since I was a tween (although actually I was quite frightened by her, being a wee cowed thing then. I'm not sure why.)

Tbf I would say "an hour a day" average if questioned might be about right if you include the 30 years I wasn't on mumsnet
