311 - Sofie Hagen

Sofie Hagen is a remarkable comedian, who is arguably better known at present for her activism than her excellent work in comedy. We talk about the incredible think-tank of the small Danish circuit where she started out, and the toxicity she discovered therein; her insightful analysis of how "losers win" at the Edinburgh festival; the dual purpose of having gender neutral toilets at her shows; and get stuck into some very frank discussion of the social activism element of her profile... and exactly what it's cost her. 45 mins of extra material available exclusively to the Insiders Club includes her opening gambit of reading all the comedy books, and how her process features infinite whiteboards and structural skeletons. We also dive into the delicate balance between trauma, therapy and confessional shows, and the mistake she made that she was too late in noticing to fix... All available now at www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders Tickets and info for Sofie's current tour can be found HERE. sofiehagen.com | @SofieHagen Catch the second leg of Stu's "End Of" tour show: 05/10/19 Edinburgh Stand (early show – 5pm) 06/10/19 Aberdeen Comedy Festival 11/10/19 Northampton Royal and Derngate 25/10/19 Teignmouth Pavillions 26/10/19 Swindon Arts Centre 04/11/19 Nottingham Glee Club 05/11/19 Birmingham Glee Club 08/11/19 Bristol – The Comedy Box at the Hen and Chicken 04/12/19 Aldershot – The West End Centre 25/01/20 Corsham – The Pound Arts Centre 01/02/20 Newcastle Stand (early show – 5pm) 02/02/20 Glasgow – The Stand 07/02/20 Farnham Maltings 28/02/20 Cambridge Junction comedianscomedian.com | @ComComPod Hosted on Acast.
