Jo Brand - Awards Presenter
Since leaving her job as a psychiatric nurse in 1987, Jo has built a large following across the UK, amongst male and female alike.
Her 'Through the Cakehole' (Ch 4) series met with great acclaim, as did her 1996 series 'All the Way to Worcester'. Her diverse appeal is marked by appearances on such eclectic programmes as 'Question Time' (BBC1) 'Nevermind the Buzzcocks' and 'Countdown' to 'They Think It's All Over'. She presented 'Jo Brand's Commercial Breakdown' (Celador for BBC1) and her series, 'Jo Brand's Hot Potatoes' (Assembly Film & TV) was very well received.
In 1992 she conquered Edinburgh where she was nominated for the Perrier Award during the festival. She has won various awards over the years, including The British Comedy Award for Best Live Perfomer, which propelled her to our TV screens and nationwide success.
Jo has written two irreverent books (both published by Simon & Schuster), 'A Load of Old Balls' and 'A Load of Old Ball Crunchers', about leading men and women of history plus a novel 'Sorting Out Billy'.
