Janey Godley says she think it will be 'cracking' if she drops dead on stage.
The comedian is about to embark on a standup tour while undergoing chemotherapy to treat her ovarian cancer.
The 61-year-old says that there is a risk the treatment leads her to vomit during a performance, but she says there's also a chance she dies during her routine, which she believes is 'the way to do it'.

She also invited the audience to heckle her about her illness.
"I hope I walk out and people go 'How come you're not dead yet?" she said.

John Lydon has accused Jedward of “nicking” his hairstyle, but says he still “loves them very much”.You might be wondering to yourself now if Jedward’s distinctive hairstyle is really all that similar to Lydon’s own, but apparently he’s not the only person to have noticed some kind of similarity. In fact, some people apparently think that similarity could be genetic.“Let me clear this up once and for all”, he told the Irish Sun. “No, I’m not Jedward’s dad, but I am a Jedhead, and if I ever meet the lads all I want to ask is ‘why did you nick my hair?’”His affection for Jedward seems to have been compounded by the twins losing their mother to leukaemia in 2019.
