Exactly as it says on the tin (50ish min). Jo Brand, an English standup comedian, talks psychiatry, comedy and what swear word is her favourite with Jamie Laing, ex-Made in Chelsea star.

I can’t think of a broader contrast between two people. Looking forward to watching after work.

I remember when she first started appearing on TV - she was a complete revelation to me at the time. Her delivery, her attitude and the things she was saying were all so far from the then norm - even given the fact it was the era of the alternative comics, who were themselves a huge step away from the dregs of the white misogynistic racists that made up the majority of TV comedians prior to them.

She's so good, I've loved her in all the panel shows, I think I first saw her on QI, and while I've soured a bit on that show, she's always a gem. I loved her season of taskmaster as well!

Ah, the old Sea Monster. Have been a fan of Jo Brand since forever. Love her dry wit. Saving this for a rainy day.
