Why comic Grace Campbell refuses to be silenced about intercourse – podcast | Information

Grace Campbell, comic and writer of Wonderful Shame: A E-book About “Disgrace”, has by no means shyed away from intercourse in her comedy. Whereas she has had some adverse reactions, she has had a very constructive response from ladies.

“I do assume ladies actually like it, even when they’re from a barely totally different era, as a result of they recognize that I’m speaking about issues which have for a very long time, and in so some ways been certain up in disgrace for us.”

She just lately wrote in the Guardian about being raped in Las Vegas last year. Within the article, she wrote: “I could be a cocky, self-proclaimed slut, who wears revealing tops, and writes exhibits about being obsessive about males, and I may also be raped. These two issues can exist on the similar time.”

She tells Nosheen Iqbal about how she feared after the assault that her sexual historical past can be used towards her, and why she continues to be going to be open about her sexual experiences.

Campbell’s Edinburgh present A Present About Me(n) is on the Gilded Balloon Teviot till 29 August.
