'Interrogates moments of trauma with insight, kindness and humanity' - John Robins
This is a book about mistakes. And why we should de-flower shame in all its messy, complicated glory...
Hello!
It's Lou here...
I've poured my heart and guts on to the page and shared my soul in this book. This won't be for everyone but I hope it helps the people it does connect with. We all have stories and I think its useful to share them, I think it helps unite us and in some ways it helps us release some shame.
I've been alarmingly truthful and sincere, because I think society would be better if we could all be honest. I've of course used humour too, not as a way to cope (I've processed the darker things that have happened to me), but as a change in pace, some gorgeous light relief, because life is light and dark dancing together in the wind. And I love jokes.
If this is the sort of thing you're after, please pick me up and take me to bed (that's the book speaking so a little joke there). Lou Sanders is a British comedian. She is the champion of series eight of Taskmaster, co-hosts Mel Giedroyc: Unforgivable and has made a host of other television appearances from Live at the Apollo to The Late Late Show.
Lou has performed stand up around the world, including venues in New York, LA, Berlin and sell-out runs in Edinburgh and Soho. Lou has written articles for The Guardian, Time Out and GQ magazine. Comedian, Lou Sanders The new memoir from Lou Sanders Exploring everything from sex to clothes, SHAME AND OTHER BLESSINGS is a painfully funny look at what happens when we work through our issues and come out the other side, able to live, laugh and yes, actually, love. leading comedian writes about very zeitgeisty subject: sure to get attention Lou has already written for the Guardian on this topic and the piece was shared widely, garnering over 1000 comments
