Some of the most exciting Edinburgh-bound comedians seem to be female. We have previewed a number of them already and here’s another. Lou Sanders is a true comedy curveball. Someone who does not have any boundaries when onstage. Her latest show is Excuse Me, You're Sitting on My Penis Again and I presume that she will be talking candidly about her recent relationships. I saw her do some material about this in Kilkenny last month and if that is any guide her full-length show should be scarily honest. But don’t get the wrong idea, Sanders is not being gratuitously smutty, she is just the kind of comedian where anything goes. She also talks about the time she applied for a place at Eton boys' school. Despite being adult. And female. If you want to do some further background research catch her interview with Richard Herring here. Like many comedians, Sanders has done the obligatory Philippe Gaulier clowning course where you learn to release your inner idiot. And boy does Sanders have an inner idiot to release.
Lou Sanders is at The Harrison tonight (27/6) with Max & Ivan, tickets here, and at the City Cafe from Aug 7 - 30, info here.
