You can even read it on the bus or have it standing on your book shelf without being scared that people will ask questions! Oh and it’s OUT IN 8 (!) DAYS. You can pre-order the hardcover, audio book (narrated by me) and e-book! From all good book stores!
I’m in the Guardian with an extract from my book! In 19 days, my book Will I Ever Have Sex Again? comes out and I’m excited and scared and nervous and overwhelmed and happy. I’d love for you to pre-order it. 🫶🏻 The photographer @jaybrooksphoto was incredible, so was makeup and hair artist @danirichardson! @sandysuffield was the brilliant set designer! And thanks to @blinkpublishing for sorting it all and literally ironing my clothes for me. 👀 Oh and the top is @lucyandyak and the trousers are @fashionbrandcompany !
The Happy Place Book Club Pick for July is Will I Ever Have Sex Again by @sofiehagendk 💕 Sofie has not had sex in 3,000 days (and counting). And it turns out, they’re not the only one . . . In an attempt to find out why we’re not having the sex we want, Sofie asks the questions: can we blame a lacking sex education? Is it all just sexual trauma? Where’s the radical sexual liberation we were promised? And what are we going to do about all this? Head to the link in our bio to grab your copy and read along with us this July 📖
WILL I EVER HAVE SEX AGAIN? The Book Launch! How can I only pick 10 photos from yesterday? Impossible choixe. You might get a Part Two, if you like this kind of thing. You know, the number one thing people have texted me after last night, is that EVERYONE who came to my book launch was nice. And I looked around the room and it was true. I feel very lucky to be surrounded by wonderful people on such a big day. My editor @lucytirahan did an incredible speech that almost made me cry. My @blinkpublishing team was incredible, helping me pull this event off. @jodiemitchetc not only played a big part in the actual book, but came and helped me set up the room. @justineupnorth took ALL THE PHOTOS and there’s nothing she CAN’T DO TO PERFECTION, she is so freaking talented, it’s not fair. On my way to the book launch, I saw someone online had posted a ‘day in the life of an author’ video and my first thought was ‘oooh I’d love to be an author’… I’m not sure it’ll ever feel truly real? Anyways, just so this post isn’t just gushing and bragging about my lovely friends — I’m doing a big London show on Tuesday at @earthackney … You should come!

Photo Dump of Edinburgh shenanigans some LOOKS some selfies. I’m doing my show BANGLORD at the Edinburgh Fringe and I am having a lovely time. I have seen some GREAT shows, including @chloebadcliffe, @paddyisyoung, @marywiththegoldshoes, @dnlfoxx and of course, @jodiemitchetc … (I directed Jodie’s show so it’s kind of cheating to mention it but its brilliance is all down to Jodie.) Today’s show is sold out. And a few more dates are SELLING out. In short: I’m having a good time and I love Edinburgh. First photo is taken by @abbywambaugh who needed to be credited!

Fourteen (!) years ago, today, I did stand-up for the first time. I was a little 21 year old baby in Copenhagen. I tripped over a cable on my way into the dressing room and fell and scraped my knees. I performed with blood running down my leg. I didn’t plan on moving to London; it just happened. Same with stand-up. It just happened. It was never the plan. If I think about what stand-up has given me, I can’t quite comprehend it. I’ve travelled the world. I did stand-up in LA, New York, Melbourne, Latvia, Johannesburg… And approximately 23 more countries. I’ve met some of the best people. It’s quite overwhelming. I have a lot of tricky, heavy, confusing emotions when it comes to stand-up now — especially the community. Comedians I started out with. And looked up to. People I wasn’t nice to and people who weren’t nice to me. I guess for me, stand-up was always the only place I could be social, confidently, because I had found my people. And I feel like I’ve lost that connection now. For so many complex reasons. So reflecting back, today, is a mixed bag. It’s both wonderful and sad. Regardless — I feel lucky. Thank you for being here, on Instagram, and thank you for consuming my art. I know we are no longer used to having to pay for the entertainment we watch — free podcasts, audiobooks, Spotify, streaming platforms etc — so it means a lot that you’re choosing to do that. Tickets for my shows, Patreon supporters for my podcast @helpholepod, buying my book, etc. Thank you. I literally can’t do it without you. And that also goes for my colleagues – old and new, friends and enemies – couldn’t do it without you. Apart from a few – I’d definitely have done it BETTER without you. Okay, I’m off to do my Reading tour show in fucking CROCS because I forgot I was wearing them and I don’t have spare shoes… 14 years and I still fuck up. S ♥️
