Sara Pascoe’s Weirdo: Literature and Laughs

Bringing together stand-up comedy and readings from the book, Sara Pascoe celebrates the paperback launch of her hilarious and touching debut novel.

Described by Caitlin Moran as ‘Quietly profound and
laughing-in-public funny’, Weirdo follows Sophie, an existential Essex girl battling low-level paranoia in her search for happiness and truth.

All Sophie wants to do is act like a normal, well-adjusted person and not say any of her inner monologue out loud.

If she can suppress her pornographic visualisations and pathological lying, who knows, maybe she can get out of debt, dump her current boyfriend and try to enjoy Christmas with her awful family.

Sara Pascoe is a highly acclaimed comedian and writer. On TV she has performed her solo show LadsLadsLads (BBC2) as well as hosting Live at the Apollo, appearing on numerous panel shows and fronting the much loved The Great British Sewing Bee (BBC). She also wrote and starred in the autobiographical sitcom Out of Her Mind (BBC).

Animal her lauded first book, was a personal and evolutionary exploration of the female body. Her second book, Sex Power Money examined porn and transactional sex and was a Sunday Times bestseller. The accompanying podcast garnered millions of listens and multiple award nominations during its run.
