Scottish comedian Janey Godley has passed away at the age of 63, as confirmed by her family. Godley, known for her sharp wit and political commentary, had been battling ovarian cancer since 2021. In September, she revealed that her chemotherapy treatments had reached a point where they were no longer effective.
A beloved figure in Scotland’s comedy scene, Godley rose to greater fame during the COVID-19 pandemic. She became well-known for her humorous videos that parodied the coronavirus briefings delivered by Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon. Her unique take on serious topics helped many people find humor during challenging times.
In 2016, Godley gained international attention when she protested outside Donald Trump’s Turnberry Golf Resort in Scotland, holding a sign that read, “Trump is a ct.” This bold statement reflected her long-standing opposition to the former U.S. president. Even while facing health challenges, Godley maintained her spirit. Last month, she shared a viral photo on social media of herself wearing a t-shirt that stated, “Trump is still a ct,” captioning it, “The gift that keeps giving!”
