248 - Sophie Willan

Sophie is a hurricane of comedy in action. Possessed of a singular voice, she focuses her wit on genuinely important subject matter, including the cuts to social and mental health care services. We talk about obtaining government funding for her comedy tours, the "politics of politeness", and what happens after the conversation about class in comedy... Hear extra material from this conversation with Sophie, as well as extras from Russell Howard, James Acaster and more, plus a load of other interactive comedy projects...Support the show by becoming a member of the "Insiders Club" at www.comedianscomedian.com/insidersSee Sophie on tour nationally and at the Soho Theatre this June, details via www.sophiewillan.com@SophieWillanSee Stu on tour over the next two months, including a DVD record of the tour show on June 14th in Bristol: 30/05/2018 Aldershot, West End Centre01/06/2018 Sheffield, The Lescar02/06/2018 York, The Basement03/06/2018 Newcastle – The Stand04/06/2018 Leeds, Duke Studios08/06/2018 Southampton, Hanger Farm09/06/2018 Cambridge Junction12/06/2018 Edinburgh, The Monkey Barrel13/06/2018 Glasgow, The Stand14/06/2018 DVD RECORD IN BRISTOL 15/06/2018 Birmingham Glee17/06/2018 Brighton Komedia21-23 June London, Soho Theatre29/06/2018 Tringe Festival@ComComPod  Hosted on Acast.
