About Sandi Toksvig – Friends of Dorothy
Come and join the comedian, broadcaster, and campaigner (and tiny Danish beacon of hope) for an evening celebrating her love and passion for writers and books.
Asell-out in 2024, this show is packed with fascinating stories, a lively Q&A, and the much-contested ‘Cleverest Person in the Room’ game. Dive into Sandi’s extraordinary collection as she explores outrageous and bizarre titles such as ‘The Beginners Guide to Sex in the Afterlife’ and ‘Cheese Problems Solved’.
Marking the paperback publication of her Sunday Times Bestselling novel, Sandi’s live shows are life-affirming, smart, and funny.
