NEWS! MIMOS full report now available


Hi, I’m Jo Brand, stand up comic, writer and occasional actor. I trained and worked as a mental health nurse from 1978 to 1988 at The Maudsley Hospital in South London where, having qualified , I worked at the 24 hour walk- in Emergency Clinic. My career in comedy has taken several unexpected turns, through sitcom writing, sketch shows, presenting, hosting and has covered such diverse topics as cakes, politics and science. I have always retained an interest in mental health and have many friends who work in the area and am very pleased to be sitting here looking at you and supporting what is a vital and essential piece of work.
