About this Event

All Book Fringe events are FREE in person + online | no tickets required (but you can reserve them here to get a book/reminder of the event & help us have enough seats for everyone)

Multi-award-winning comedian and podcaster Sofie Hagen is the author of two books that both entertain and delight, comfort and question the complexities of living - and experiencing pleasure - in a body. A body in a world full of opinions on bodies.

Part memoir, part social commentary, 2019’s Happy Fat is a funny, angry and impassioned look at how taking up space can be radical, emboldening and life-changing.

In , Hagen embarks on a humorous and bold exploration to understand how we can think, talk and feel about sex.

We’re so very excited to be welcoming Sofie back to the Book Fringe, while in town with her new comedy show, to talk about both her books, and to share the kind of anecdotes and wisdom that only years of thinking and chatting about this stuff brings with it!

This event will be 30 mins followed by audience questions and signing. Please feel free to attend any or all of these depending on your capacity!
