Great interview.

Why does it not surprise me that she's a MNer?!

I also cheered at the HIGNFY moment. I don't usually shout at HIGNFY so it made DH jump! I must admit I hadn't noticed what Ian said - I think I'm just so used to "man downplays impact of patriarchy" that I tune it out a lot of the time. I do hope it was just the editing that made it seem so bad... I wonder if Jo has any contacts who could leak the unedited footage...

Jo, if you're reading this: Why isn't your favourite username doctorcuntybollocks. Why? Why?

We now have 3 current ' love Jo Brand threads'.

Can the first Sunday in Feb henceforth be known as 'Jo Brand Sunday ' ?

This is the original and best! By a whole half hour! And the most feminist!

Let us call it Branday.

Getting On really was a masterpiece of tellyviewing.

I've loved Jo since her stand up days

"Good evening I'm the sea monster"

Excellent, Hipster

"And so it was, henceforth, that the first Sunday in each February became known as "Branday"."

Love Jo Brand. I met her once through my husbands work and she was lovely. She gave me tips on swimwear!

Also she is hilarious.

Branday

And we shall celebrate each Branday with , and , and by launching anew our feminist uprising.

(btw fairy hammocks )

I have a chaotic list compiled in my head, of public figures who I think have the nous to understand that 'gender' is frankly a steaming pile of poo, and the ovaries of steel to pronounce on such, at some point.

Jo Brand is on my list.

Jo, if you've been reading the feminist boards, and I bet you have, I'm putting some of my feminist eggs in your basket.

Another huge fan here - ever since the 80's and snl uk.

Looking forward to new series of damned which is sodding brilliant!

I agree that it would be nice to get people such as Jo to publicly oppose the self-certification/trans women are women madness.

I do like Jo Brand.

love you jo
saw you live in london back in 1987 or something

Happy Branday

Jo has had a few good Feminist moments on QI as well, I always like catching the re-runs when she is on. Hopefully she will keep it up. We could do with a few more strong Feminist women in the public eye.

Another Jo fan here, hi Jo! I think you are fab

I love Jo Brand. I'm not surprised she on MN.

I am surprised to learn from.this thread she's a Christian though. Nothing wrong with being a Christian, I just didn't have her pegged as one.

Hi Jo!!

Loved Getting On, and you crack me up. Welcome to Mumsnet, would you consider throwing us a bone and saying hi?

Everything in that article really but massive cheer for "Ladies". There is a man round here who thinks he is the swaggery business when really he is a misogynist shit and looks down on us all, he always greets two or more women with a sickly "ladies" and you can feel the contempt through his smile in every syllable. How I haven't stamped on his toes yet I do not know.

The HIGNFY moment was absolutely brilliant.

Sod it, I'm simpering.

I’m so happy to see Jo Brand is on here!! Love her, truly incredible woman.

say hello to us Jo.

More love for the Magnificent Jo from our household. You’d be welcome round at ours any time for a cuppa and cake. This happens to be my MIL’s test of whether someone in public life is a good ‘un.
