		Jo was a smoker until 2000 when she decided to quit.
		Jo Brand: I've always been a bit of a Billy Connolly fan I have to say, because he is the supreme protagonist stand-up if you like.

	Jo Malone
		Jo Malone began her career as a facialist, before setting up her Facial Clinic in Chelsea in 1983, with just twelve clients initially.
		Some twenty years ago, Jo Malone began to invite clients up to her Chelsea flat where she applied her facials, hand mixed products, tailored specifically for the skin of each client, applied by the power of touch in a facial massage at a time when electronic equipment was en vogue.
		A tip by Jo Malone: Sniff plain coffee beans in between scents in order to clear the nasal passages, and you are ready to test a new fragrance.

	Jo Brand in Editorial > Interviews at DVDActive
		Jo Brand: I was really, because I thought it was extremely excruciating when I watched a tape of it, that my husband taped for me and I never watched it again after that.
		Jo Brand: Yes, I am afraid it is. The reason I used a name was because I was a nurse at the time, and I didn’t want my name in Timeout and people from working coming along and taking the piss.
		Jo Brand: It’s a video release as well so I have to be perfectly honest and go, probably not specifically for DVD, but there are extra bits on it that aren’t on anything else, so as exciting as that sounds...

	Scotland on Sunday - Review - Jo Brand leaves her fire and fury on the stage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Jo Brand leaves her fire and fury on the stage
		So it is a surprise that her debut novel is so tame, especially when you consider that the eponymous Billy is a loose-cannon of a boyfriend who is in the habit of knocking his girlfriend around.
		Where Brand excels, you won’t be surprised to learn, is in describing the unglamorous world of stand-up comedy: the tiny, smelly clubs; the foul crowds; the fear every performer must conquer before setting foot on stage; and the exhilaration when the room fills with laughter.

	Hey Jo - [Sunday Herald]
		GIVEN that Jo Brand was due to run the London Marathon just days ago, it seems possible she might arrive spindle-thin and in jogging pants, a shrunken- down husk of her former cake-gobbling, “must-be-anorexic-because-when-anorexics-look-in-a-mirror-they-see-a-fat-person-and-so-do-I” self.
		Brand is here to talk about her book, It’s Different For Girls, a grimy, pierhead, romantic comedy set in Hastings in the punk-era Seventies, revolving around the coming of age of two teenage girls, one of whom, Rachel, seems remarkably like a teenage Brand.
		Brand was 13 when her father, an engineer, got a job in Hastings, and the family were uprooted from their countryside home near Tunbridge Wells.

	It's Different for Girls by Jo Brand \| PopMatters Book Review
		Jo Brand, ex-psychiatric nurse and stocky Goth stand-up comic from Hastings, (born 1956), published her second novel, It's Different for Girls in May. Julie Burchill born in Frenchay, Bristol (1957) is currently metamorphosing from Rock Press enfant terrible into bourgeois eminence grise.
		Jo Brand's comic presence is strong and her humanity is stronger, inspired by acute observational skills, honed through years behind the footlights of stand-up comedy.
		As a fan of Jo Brand, who once tailored a joke especially for me in a post-performance Edinburgh Fringe Festival bar, I can hear her laid-back ironic tones in the description of an isolated night out between husband and wife, Terry and Vince.
