Our series of LEGENDS continues with the absolute legend that is Lou Sanders! Lou is a brilliant stand-up comedian, star of Taskmaster, co-host of Unforgivable alongside former YB guest Mel Giedroyc, podcaster and now the author of the unforgettable memoir What's That Lady Doing?: False Starts and Happy Endings. We talked to Lou about the genius of Deborah Levy, early spiritual dabblings, potential screen adaptations and the joy and pain of writing memoir.

Daisy will be at Henley Literary Festival in early October and at the Margate Bookie at the end of October. Details of Daisy's How To Be a Grown Up event with Sarah Knight are available HERE.
