Jay Lafferty

The Braw and The Brave is a podcast about people and their passions. Episode 77 is in conversation with stand-up comic, writer & producer Jay Lafferty. Forming one fifth of the critically acclaimed comedy troupe 'The Don Quixote Appreciation Society' 17 years ago, the group were involved in the first years of the Glasgow Comedy Festival with Jay continuing to work in the arts & education, doing stand-up in the evenings. Taking the leap to go full-time 5 years ago her career in comedy continues to soar with sellout shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival & appearances on BBC’s Breaking the News. Using personal experiences to shape her work, her most recent show ‘Jammy’ documented her fertility journey. When she is not doing stand-up, compering, writing or teaching Jay is creating new works of theatre via her production company Watch this Space Productions. Enjoy! NB.
