Sofie Hagen is to follow the Edinburgh run of her latest show with a UK tour.

The Bumswing explores a frankly disheartening new piece of information that Sofie learned from her therapist, which has forced her to review the way she performs stand-up. Sofie talks about memory: What she remembers (not a lot), what she wishes she remembered (a lot) and what she wishes she could forget (also a lot). It’s a hilarious swing in a different direction for a comic who is used to tackling serious issues with her shows.  

Sofie Hagen is one of the most talked-about comics of the moment. She won Best Newcomer atthe 2015 Edinburgh Comedy Awards; her 2016 follow-up, Shimmer Shatter, was a second total sell-out, which followed again with another sell-out show in 2017; Dead Baby Frog. 

She’s recently been seen on The Nightly Show and Comedy Central’s Roast Battle.  She’s spoken to millions as host of her successful Made of Human podcast and now her new live comedy podcast Secret Dinosaur Cult. Sofie has also appeared on The One Show, The Now Show and Live From The BBC and hosted her own documentaryin her nativeDenmark.  She recently filmed her own special and series for Comedy Central online looking at the sex lives of fellow comedians. 

In May 2019 she published her first book Happy Fat: Taking Up Space in a World That Wants to Shrink You, which is part memoir, part social commentary and a funny, angry and impassioned look at how taking up space in a culture that is desperate to reduce you can be radical, emboldening and life-changing.

The tour starts in Winchester on September 29 and currently has dates booked in up to Bristol on June 14. Buy tickets here. Buy tickets for her Edinburgh Fringe run here.
