GBA 262 Miranda Kane

Summary: In GBA 262 we get better acquainted with Miranda Kane. We recorded this conversation at the Audible studios in London during the recording of her new audio sitcom Slaving Away which is a comedy about a cheerful and happy-go-lucky single girl who just happens to be a dominatrix that will be hitting your earways this August. We talk about making comedy about sex work and sex worker rights, why it took a while for her to realise she could fit into the world of stand-up comedy, not making fat people and sex workers into punchlines and lots more. We also talk about her show Coin Operated Girl which is back again at this year's PBH Free Fringe: https://edinburghfestival.list.co.uk/event/602895-the-coin-operated-girl/ For more about sex worker rights, decriminalization and sex worker led activism see: Sex Worker Open University: http://www.sexworkeropenuniversity.com/ Toni Mac: The Laws That Sex Workers Really Want: https://www.ted.com/talks/toni_mac_the_laws_that_sex_workers_really_want GBA 197 - Toni https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-197-toni Miranda Plugs: Slaving Away: https://www.amazon.com/Slaving-Away-Speaking-Audible-Original/dp/B010PRLWLI I plug: The Family Tree: http://thefamilytreepodcast.co.uk/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thefamilytreepodcast What About the Men?
