Full press release

Introducing multi-award-winning Danish comedian Sofie Hagen who has already taken the UK by storm, delighting crowds with her unique observations and home truths, tackling taboo subjects with charm and sensibility, bullet-proof timing and an insatiably amiable personality.

What is it like to have a winner's mentality but not a winner's confidence? To be an insecure but arrogant teenager, living in a bubble and discovering that adults lie. In her debut hour, Sofie Hagen: Bubblewrap, Happy Fat, Sofie discusses mental health, body image, fighting the system, a shower cabinet, a psychiatric ward... and Westlife.

Revered in her home country, Sofie was chosen to perform at the prestigious 1700+ capacity Royal Opera House for the Danish Comedy Gala in 2012 as 'The New Hopes of Comedy'. Shortly thereafter she moved to London and the nominations and awards have since been flooding in. Having starred in various television and radio programmes in her native country of Denmark, in the UK she has appeared on BBC2's Alan Davies: Apres Ski, as well as guest slots on Lols Lounge (BBC Radio 1) and The Verb (BBC Radio 4). She has also performed internationally at festivals, from Altitude in Austria to the Geel Comedy Festival in the Netherlands.

Her podcast Comedians Telling Stuff is available now.
