An Evening with Fi Glover and Jane Garvey

[Village Books]

Village Books and Alleyn's Schools Enterprises are delighted to be hosting an event with award winning broadcasters Fi Glover and Jane Garvey on Friday 25th November.

Fi Glover and Jane Garvey don’t claim to have all the answers (what was the question?), but in their book Did I Say That Out Loud? they take modern life by its elasticated waist and give it a brisk going over with a stiff brush.

They riff together on the chuff of life, from pet deaths to broadcasting hierarchies, via the importance of hair dye, the perils and pleasures of judging other women, and the perplexing overconfidence of chino-wearing middle-aged white men named Roger.

Did I Say That Out Loud? covers essential life skills (never buy an acrylic jumper, always decline the offer of a limoncello), and suggests the disconcerting possibility that Christmas is a hereditary disease, passed down the maternal line.

At a time of constant uncertainty, what we all need is the wisdom of two women who haven’t got a clue what’s going on either.

‘You’ll laugh, you’ll nod your head so vigorously in agreement that you’ll end up with whiplash and you’ll buy a copy of this book for all your friends for Christmas. If you loved the late, great Victoria Wood, then you’ll love Fi and Jane too.’ Sarra Manning, Red Magazine

Their shared BBC Sounds podcast, Fortunately, which won the Comedy Show of the Year at the Arias in 2018, and a silver Spotlight Award, has been downloaded more than twenty million times and has over 500k subscribers.
