In this episode TAOF Podcast's Kev chats to award winning comedian, actress and lifelong die-hard West Ham United fan Jo Jarvie.

No stone is left unturned in this episode, with Jo openly talking about all aspects of her life - what it was like growing up in South London, dealing with a mother suffering from psychosis, her own mental health battles along with a hugely impactful addiction to both drink and pharmaceutical / recreational drugs, post-natal depression and hyperemesis, multiple suicide attempts, being sectioned, experiencing the stillbirth of her son Henry being amongst many of her trials and tribulations.

Jo also documents her rapid rise, fall and latter resurrection within the world of comedy, as well as her long and tough road to recovery and sobriety having now been clean of both drink and drugs for the last two years, plus how she became a West Ham fan despite growing up in another part of London, miles away from Upton Park.

A lot has been packed into Jo's 35 years so far and her compelling story is a real exclusive for @theaof_podcast !
