About this listen

How did little Jenny Hargreaves become Jenny Eclair and elbow her way into the male dominated world of 1980s stand-up?

Daughter of Major Derek Hargreaves (spy?) and June Hargreaves (spy's wife?) sister of Sara (born to be Head Girl) and Ben (the usurper), Jenny's comedy career took off via drama school, cider, sausage rolls, sleeping with men who looked like they lived under a carpet, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery, waitressing and not really having a clue about anything.

This was a world before microphones, mobile phones, before everyone gave up smoking or started taking coke. Jenny Eclair was on the comedy circuit before there really was a comedy circuit and was the first woman to win the Perrier Award along the way.

Still gigging to sell-out crowds forty years later, Jenny Eclair's memoir charts her childhood, her career and the changing face of women in comedy, all told with hilarious brilliance in Jokes, Jokes, Jokes, her very funny memoir.

I bought the kindle version first having never been a fan of audio books but being an Older and Wider fan decided that the best way was to listen to Jenny tell her own story. I loved every chapter! It's so well written and read. It made me smile, laugh and cry.

A very honest, humorous, moving read.

I was truly immersed in the memoir - it was extra engaging when it got to the last section and because I’m an OWL I felt somehow involved in the events. I’m emotionally attached to Jenny !

We are the same vintage.

I’ve read hundreds of celebrity memoirs and this is one of the best. Deeply honest, real descriptions of life in the career of a woman and mother. Nuanced mixture of grief and joy. Excellent gossip combined with heartfelt reflection. Had to pause the audio several times I was laughing so hard. Thank you so much for this book Jenny!

Best celebrity memoir of the decade.

An original literary voice tells her life. Sometimes humor is ingenious and mean but Jenny Eclair is the opposite of that. I loved it!

Honest, brave and laugh out loud funny
