JANEY Godley’s voiceover videos have long delighted social media users.
The comedian’s ingenious clips have brought humor to some turbulent and tragic times in recent months.
One of her favourite people to impersonate is First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who has occasionally endorsed the outrageous clips in the form of a retweet.
Asked by Original 106 FM what she makes of Godley’s work, Sturgeon said: “Janey Godley is a brilliant comedian … and her voiceovers are very funny.
“They’re very rude in terms of the language they use so sometimes I don’t feel able to retweet them. But they’re very, very funny.”
The FM added: “The really clever thing she’s doing with them right now is making people laugh, but she’s also – if you listen to them carefully – she’s getting the key messages across very, very powerfully.
“So if humor helps us to make people understand what they should be doing right now then it’s all well and good so I think she’s doing a really good job on that front.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
