The More You Ignore Me...

"Seriously Funny."
--The Mirror (UK) Book of the Week

The funniest and most original import from Britain since Monty Python's Flying Circus, Jo Brand's The More You Ignore Me manages to be both poignant and darkly comic at the same time. Actress and comedienne Brand--well known to viewers in the States from her work in Absolutely Fabulous--delivers an outrageous coming-of-age story in the tradition of the Adrian Mole novels, full of dysfunctional family life and celebrity obsession in the 1980s.

A former psychiatric nurse, stand-up comic Jo Brand has a large following throughout the UK. Her TV series Through the Cakehole and All the Way to Worcester met with great acclaim, and in 2003 she was listed in The Observer as one of the fifty funniest acts in British comedy. She is currently cowriting and starring in the BBC Four sitcom Getting On. Brand has written three novels and two humor books, is married with two children, and lives in South London.
