Published 18 September 2024

Comedian Janey Godley has cancelled her autumn tour after being readmitted to hospital due to her ongoing treatment for terminal ovarian cancer.

The 63-year-old from Glasgow had planned to kick off her Why Is She Still Here? tour with events planned in cities across the UK including London, Belfast and Edinburgh.

But her doctors advised that she should stop working "for the foreseeable future".

Ms Godley, who found viral fame with her dubbed videos of Nicola Sturgeon's Covid briefings during the pandemic, revealed she had ovarian cancer in November 2021.

She was given the all-clear in 2022 but a later scan discovered signs of the disease again.

In a video posted , external on social media, Ms Godley said she had been in hospital for eight days with sepsis.

She said the sepsis was under control but her cancer was spreading, so her doctors had advised her to focus on recovery.

The comedian apologised to fans, saying: "I know people booked hotels and trains and everything - I'm so, so sorry.

"If I could go in my hospital bed I would. But I'm going to be in hospital for another couple of days.

"Thank you so much for all your love and support."

A statement to the PA news agency said Ms Godley had been living with stage four ovarian cancer for the past few years.

It read: "The treatment from the wonderful Scottish NHS has kept the disease at bay, but sadly in the last few weeks the cancer has returned and there have been a few added complications.

"Her doctors have now advised her that she must stop work for the foreseeable future."

A spokesperson said she was "devastated" to let down "loyal fans and the wonderful venues".

In 2022 the comedian was given the all-clear and said in a social media post that a scan showed "no evidence of disease".

However, she later announced that another scan had shown signs of the disease in her abdomen but she would continue with her tour in February and March 2023.

In a video posted to social media last year, she said the treatment she was on was keeping her terminal and incurable ovarian cancer "at bay".

Earlier in the year, the comedian performed dates across the country in towns and cities including Bristol, Epsom, Norwich and Milton Keynes.

Born in Glasgow in 1961, Ms Godley went on to become a regular co-presenter on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends, as well as fronting BBC Radio 4 series The C Bomb.

In 2023 the comedian won the inaugural Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

She featured in Scottish government coronavirus adverts but they were pulled after offensive historical tweets by her came to light.

Important Update

This news has been incredibly difficult for Janey, as she is heartbroken to have to cancel her shows and disappoint her thousands of loyal fans and the wonderful venues she has cherished performing at over the years. She wishes to express her profound gratitude for the continued love, support, and understanding from both her fans and venue partners during this challenging time – please see the following personal video from Janey.

Taking to social media with a heartbreaking statement, she announced: ‘I have to cancel my upcoming tour, I’m sorry but the cancer has spread and the Beatson cancer team have advised me to stop work.

‘I am currently in hospital with sepsis ( it’s under control) pls contact your theatre for a refund – I’m sorry everyone.’

A statement said: ‘It is with huge sadness that we must announce the cancellation of Janey Godley’s autumn 2024 tour.

‘Her doctors have now advised her that she must stop work for the foreseeable future.

‘Janey is devastated to let down her thousands of loyal fans, and the wonderful venues, she has played many times over the years. She would like to thank everyone for their love and support at this difficult time.”

Godley, who found viral fame with her dubbed pastiches of Nicola Sturgeon’s coronavirus news briefings during the pandemic, revealed she had ovarian cancer in November 2021.

However, she later announced that another scan had shown signs of the disease in her abdomen but added that she would continue with her tour in February and March 2023.

Godley told ITV’s Lorraine that fellow comedian Jimmy Carr played a key role in convincing her to continue her tour despite her diagnosis.

Janey Godley ‘Not Dead Yet’ Tour

Feb 14, 2023

DATE / TIME: Tuesday, February 14, 2023 - Wednesday, February 15, 2023 8:00 pm

A few words from Janey:

My past year has been like a giant “Wordle” game that has swept the nation, I went from “cancel to cancer” in 6 weeks. No, I didn’t smack a man live at the Oscars, in front of millions of people, but I have apologised profusely for historic offensive tweets from over 11 years ago and ended up as the torn worn out pass the parcel for tribal politics in Scotland. All my own doing, but now it’s time to laugh, live and celebrate after dealing this dreadful disease.

I suffered severe mental illness during the online onslaught and whilst on my last tour in 2021 found a giant tumour in my ovary giblets and had to FIGHT to stay alive. Never one for the conventional path in life, I am still NOT DEAD YET and bringing my tour back on the road. So many stories of heart-warming love and outpouring of support to the occasional daily messages hoping I might die soon because … well I am a woman who answered back.

There will be voiceovers and anecdotes, straight from the woman wouldn’t die or shut up. Come join me!

Janey Godley: On Screen & On-Stage

Festival Marquee

Sunday 12 May, 2.00pm

Doors 1.30pm | Unreserved seating

CQAF are delighted to have Janey returning to Belfast to present a new documentary on her life and featuring CQAF! Janey will also perform a 45-minute set as part of this event.

An honest, moving and often hilarious documentary about comic Janey Godley, interweaving stories from her life with footage from her Not Dead Yet tour in the wake of her cancer diagnosis. Janey Godley will perform a 45 minute stand-up comedy set after the screening.

Janey Godley takes centre stage in this engaging and insightful documentary about the fearless and funny comic. Janey found fame for her sweary anti-Trump placards and became a social media sensation as she re-voiced First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid briefings.

‘First I was cancelled, then I got cancer,’ Janey notes as she recalls being called out for racist historic tweets, apologising and then trying to rebuild her career before receiving her diagnosis. That didn’t stop her from going on tour and director John Archer interweaves fly-on-the-wall footage with interviews from people such as Jimmy Carr, Nicola Sturgeon, and Janey’s daughter, Ashley, that reveal details of a difficult Glasgow childhood.

Janey Godley has cancelled her forthcoming tour as she deals with ongoing treatment for incurable ovarian cancer .

Godley, 63, who was due to begin her UK tour Why Is She Still Here? this autumn, was advised to stop working “for the foreseeable future” because her cancer is spreading.

In a video shared online, the comedian told fans that she has been in hospital for eight days to be treated for sepsis, and told by cancer specialists that she should not return to work.

“The sepsis is under control but the cancer is spreading so they’ve told me not to work,” she said. “I’m really sorry. We sold thousands and thousands of tickets and there’s so many people employed and my poor bloody agent Chris has been magnificent.”

A statement to the PA news agency said: “It is with huge sadness that we must announce the cancellation of Janey Godley’s autumn 2024 tour.

“Janey has been living with stage four ovarian cancer for the past few years and the treatment from the wonderful Scottish NHS has kept the disease at bay, but sadly in the last few weeks the cancer has returned and there have been a few added complications.

“Her doctors have now advised her that she must stop work for the foreseeable future.

“Janey is devastated to let down her thousands of loyal fans, and the wonderful venues, she has played many times over the years. She would like to thank everyone for their love and support at this difficult time.”

Godley, who became a viral hit with her voiceover videos dubbing then-first minister Nicola Sturgeon ’s daily Covid briefings during the pandemic, revealed she had ovarian cancer in November 2021. She was given the all-clear in 2022 but announced the following year that the disease had been found in her abdomen. Despite this news, she continued with her tour in February and March 2023.

Godley told ITV’s Lorraine that fellow comedian Jimmy Carr played a key role in convincing her to continue her tour despite her diagnosis.

She said: "I decided to cancel the tour, and my mate Jimmy Carr said, ‘Is your mouth not working?’. I went, ‘Yeah, my mouth works’ and he said, ‘Well get back on tour."’

In a video she posted to social media last year, Godley said she had received scan results that showed the treatment she was on was keeping her terminal and incurable ovarian cancer “at bay”.

Janey Godley cancels tour and stops work ‘for the foreseeable future’

Scottish comedian Janey Godley has cancelled her forthcoming tour amid ongoing treatment for terminal ovarian cancer.

Godley, 63, from Glasgow , who was due to embark on UK tour Why Is She Still Here? this autumn, was advised to stop working “for the foreseeable future” while in hospital being treated for sepsis.

A statement to the PA news agency said: “It is with huge sadness that we must announce the cancellation of Janey Godley’s autumn 2024 tour.

“Her doctors have now advised her that she must stop work for the foreseeable future.

In a video posted to social media Godley revealed that she was in hospital where she had been treated for the life-threatening condition which causes the body to respond improperly to an infection.

“Hi everybody, as you’ll see in the news today we’ve had to cancel the tour”, she said.

“I’m really sorry. We sold thousands and thousands of tickets and there’s so many people employed and my poor bloody agent Chris has been magnificent.

“I’m in the hospital. I’ve been here for eight days, I had sepis as well, and my cancer team has advised me not to work again, just to try and get better.”

She added: “The sepsis is under control but the cancer is spreading so they’ve told me not to work.”

Godley thanked NHS Scotland and end of life charity Marie Curie and apologised to those who had bought tickets to her shows.

Godley, who found viral fame with her dubbed pastiches of Nicola Sturgeon’s coronavirus news briefings during the pandemic, revealed she had ovarian cancer in November 2021.

In 2022 the comedian was given the all-clear and said in a post to X that a scan showed “no evidence of disease”.

However, she later announced that another scan had shown signs of the disease in her abdomen but added that she would continue with her tour in February and March 2023.

In 2023 the comedian became the winner of the inaugural Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

She faced controversy in 2021 after Scottish Government coronavirus adverts she featured in were pulled after offensive tweets by her came to light following an investigation by the Daily Beast website.

Godley profusely apologised for the tweets and donated the fee she was paid (£12,000) to charity.

BBC star rushed to hospital in heartbreaking update and unable to work as cancer 'spreads'

Comedian janey godley was rushed to hospital amid her ongoing cancer battle after falling ill with an infection..

Comedy star Janey Godley has been forced to cancel her tour, sharing a heartbreaking update on her battle with ovarian cancer. The 63 year old Glaswegian was set to embark on her 'Why Is She Still Here?' tour, which included performances in major UK cities such as London, Belfast and Edinburgh, until her medical team advised her to cease working "for the foreseeable future".

Today, the star revealed she is in hospital being treated for sepsis which is now "under control".

A statement regarding the comedian's upcoming event read: "It is with huge sadness that we must announce the cancellation of Janey Godley's autumn 2024 tour."

"Janey has been living with stage four ovarian cancer for the past few years and the treatment from the wonderful Scottish NHS has kept the disease at bay, but sadly in the last few weeks the cancer has returned and there have been a few added complications.

The comedian also apologised for having to cancel her autumn tour amid her ongoing treatment.

In an emotional video on her social media, Janey, who starred in BBC crime drama Traces, announced from her hospital bed: "Hi everybody, as you'll see in the news today we've had to cancel the tour. I'm really sorry. We sold thousands and thousands of tickets and there's so many people employed and my poor bloody agent Chris has been magnificent."

"I'm in the hospital. I've been here for eight days, I had sepsis as well, and my cancer team has advised me not to work again, just to try and get better."

The beloved entertainer disclosed her ovarian cancer struggle in 2021 yet triumphed with an all-clear announcement on X celebrating a scan that found "no evidence of disease".

Alas, she later informed fans that a subsequent scan revealed the disease had returned, manifesting in her abdomen. Nevertheless, she expressed intentions to press on with shows in February and March 2023.

Appearing on ITV's Lorraine, the comic shared how her colleague Jimmy Carr was instrumental in her decision to not give up on her tour despite the health battles, recounting the moment he encouraged her:

She narrated: "I decided to cancel the tour, and my mate Jimmy Carr said, 'Is your mouth not working?'. I went, 'Yeah, my mouth works' and he said, 'Well get back on tour.'".

Moreover, Janey conveyed a poignant note from her daughter Ashley Storrie this January, filled with joy at marking another birthday post-diagnosis two years ago, noting how jubilant she felt.

Janey, who recently celebrated a day she never believed "would happen", took to X, previously known as Twitter, to share her daughter Ashley's heartfelt message with her 293,000 followers.

Ashley had penned on Facebook: "To the woman who birthed me. You made it another year. A year we didn't think we were going to get. And in amongst the sadness and the regrets and the fear look at what we did. Look at what we'll do."
