Comedian Janey Godley is set for a stand-up gig at Eastwood Park Theatre, following a screening of JANEY, the acclaimed new feature film about her life.

The exclusive on-screen and on-stage show on May 8 promises a rare look as she reflects on her life growing up in Glasgow, overcoming personal tragedy to become one of Scotland's most celebrated comedians. 

Janey takes centre stage in John Archer's engaging and insightful documentary about the fearless and funny comic, who found fame for her anti-Trump placards and became a social media sensation as she revoiced First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's Covid briefings.

Archer weaves fly-on-the-wall footage, featuring interviews with Jimmy Carr, Nicola Sturgeon, and Janey's daughter, Ashley, that reveal details of a difficult Glasgow childhood.

Moira McFadden, head of communities and arts at East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure, said: "Janey Godley has a long-standing relationship with Eastwood Park Theatre.

"She was instrumental in supporting and driving our engagement with audiences during Covid, at the height of her social media success, when she featured in our 'In Conversation With' events as we planned for a sustainable return to live theatre. 

"When our venue reopened following Covid, Janey brought her live Soup Pot Tour and has now chosen to return as part of this exclusive tour. We're very excited to be one of only eleven venues across Scotland to present this event, featuring an engaging and insightful documentary about Janey's life before she takes to our stage once more for a live stand-up gig."
