Jo is always glorious, but I enjoy her all the more for this anti-advice. A real nod to ageing we can all relate to (except me, I’m still way too young)’ MIRANDA HART 'Almost every line made me pee my pants. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNot due to age – as she wrongly suggests – but because she’s the funniest woman on earth’ RUBY WAX ‘Lots of hilarious and unwise words from my favourite curmudgeonly she-wolf’ DAWN FRENCH 'A typically hilarious manifesto for the wise and ignored, Jo shows how, when you get knocked down, it’s sometimes best to stay there for a rest’ ALAN DAVIES ‘The fantastically imperfect \"what not to do\" list for older age. 100% my bible now’ EMMA FREUD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJo Brand is getting on a bit and, to be frank, all this stuff about ageing well and staying active has made her feel rather tired. From lying unconscious under a surgeon’s knife with your fingers crossed to a jam and mongoose sperm emulsion (alright, Jo made that one up), we are surrounded with hot takes on how to age well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSafe to say, Jo just can’t be arsed. This is not a ‘life begins after menopause’ pep talk.

Things you can expect: not changing her pants, embracing the utter joy of becoming an ‘invisible’ older woman, a celebration of the endless opportunities afforded by selective deafness. Completely unscientific and largely unresearched, Decline and Falling Over is a bungled assortment of musings on how to make the most of your shitter second half.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e--‘Life affirming.
