It's Different for Girls - Rosie Boycott & Jo Brand - Women's Equality Party

The Women's Equality Party launch their election campaign with a celebrity fundraiser hosted with 5x15 in May 2016. Actress Jo Brand speaks with Rosie Boycott. (intro by Catherine Mayer) Since leaving her job as a psychiatric nurse in 1987, Jo Brand has built a large following across the UK as a writer, broadcaster and stand up comedienne. She appears on television regularly, with examples including her award-winning Channel 4 show, 'Jo Brand Through The Cakehole', as well as stints on BBC’s 'Have I Got News For You', 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks', 'Absolutely Fabulous' and 'Question Time'. She won the 2011 BAFTA for Best Female Comedy Performance in her series 'Getting On', which has received much critical acclaim. She is also the author of two autobiographies, 'Look Back In Hunger' and 'Can't Stand Up For Sitting Down', and has recently presented the sister show to The Great British Bake Off, entitled 'An Extra Slice'. “Now is the time to put our heads above the parapet,” said Sandi Toskvig, who co-founded the party, to the 2000-strong audience. “Let’s do it for our daughters and our sons. Join me at the barricades.” 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations. There are only two rules - no scripts and only 15 minutes each.
