Meet Jamie, a stand-up comic who the punters love. But they don't know the real Jamie. Inside she's lost, vulnerable and desperate for love - something Lily finds out when she becomes her friend and then her manager. Lily soon realizes that looking after Jamie means more than just booking gigs.
The Pride of Lions shows Joolz in a new light. She's now as much a story-teller as a performance poet. Her powerful accounts of life in the modern city are as compelling as the stories of the ancients. In her gripping tales of self-destruction, death and desolation, cruelty is mental and violence happens in the home. And yet, even in a world of trapped lives, injustice and betrayal, not all hopes are blighted, and there is some redemption, however frail, through love.
