Comedienne Jo Brand is set to appear on our TV screens again - introducing a new series analysing the do's and don'ts of British sitcoms.
Jo is famous for her jokes about weight and men. She is a former psychiatric nurse who once treated the clinically depressed - and now makes people laugh.
And it's not just the TV show, The Golden Rules of Comedy, that is keeping her busy - she's also writing a sitcom of her own - about nuns.
Meanwhile, Jo is one of the judges of the Orange Prize for Fiction which will be announced on June 7.
It is the UK's only annual award for fiction written by a woman, celebrating excellence, originality and accessibility in women's writing.
Jo herself has written several books, including her recently published novel It's Different For Girls".
