Paul Boyd: from Molly Wobbly to the Tower of London

My chum comedienne Janey Godley's weekly podcast has a new signature tune from today, written by the wildly prolific Paul Boyd. "It's the same tune," he told me yesterday at the Tower of London, "I just brushed it up a bit, because I thought: They've had it for five years now. I didn't want to have an outcry from all her fans if I changed it too much."

Opinion: Janey Godley brews up trouble for Irn-Bru?

Janey Godley's complaint that she thinks she was ripped off by the people who made the new Irn-Bru ad has caused a stir in comedy circles. It is not the first time a comedian has allegedly had input into an advertising campaign and not been given credit. Or, in some cases, paid.

Janey Godley: I'm playing free festival in Edinburgh

So I'm saying yes to Free Festival, don't see why I shouldn't. The Free Festival has become the fringe to the Fringe. I am looking forward to the experience. I have done the BIG venues for years and although I love my boys at the Underbelly and all the gang at Pleasance and Gilded etc... I am looking forward to striking out. There is a snobbery about the Free Festival with suggestions that it is there for 'people who cant get into the big professional venues'. Well I prove that isn't true, as did Luisa Omelian and many others last year.
