Janey Godley has announced she will be performing a new show in Edinburgh next year.
The iconic Scottish comedian had been forced to cancel Edinburgh tour dates earlier this year following her cancer diagnosis, but will now return with her new show, 'Not Dead Yet.'
Following chemotherapy and a hysterectomy operation, the comic shared that she was ready to get back doing what she loves best following her journey with the "dreadful disease."

Performing at the Festival Theatre on February 19, 2023, Janey announced on social media that tickets for the show were now available to purchase.
Speaking to fans and followers, she said: "My past year has been like a giant “Wordle” game that has swept the nation, I went from “cancel to cancer” in six 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 with 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 who wouldn’t die or shut up."
