    Jo, PLEASE start a TH-cam channel where you sit around knitting and drinking tea and eating chocolate with your friends and talk about feminism, your life, your experiences, your career etc. This is not a request...it’s an ORDER! 🙏🏻

    Jo Brand is a national treasure because she's herself. There's no definition for what a national treasure is, other than perhaps our lives would be worse without that person around. I think that's pretty fitting for Jo Brand. She's awesome.

    I have always loved jo as an entertainer in any/every format and she knows that she played a pivotal role in literally pulling me from death's door following a very rare condition that noones ever survived before. I experienced medical miracles throughout my rehabilitation from that illness which are cited now in medical journals and i dont say that to highlight me because that's all about jo and the power she has to be such a positive distraction.I wrote to her expressing my thanks and received such a lovely, hilarious handwritten letter back from her which I had never expected. She's a total star.

If any comic's thoughts would persist Jo Brand's would. I double dog dare anyone to say not.

    Regarding the perceived limitations of being called "a national treaure," I think of a story that I heard about Dame Judi Dench. Supposedly, she walked in front of a taxi; the driver slammed on the brakes, stuck his head out the window and called her a cow. Without missing a beat, she retorted, "That's DAME Cow to you!" Now THAT is style!
