The Best of Sofie Hagen
See Where She Gets Her Competitive Spirit
In her stand-up show, Generation Boyband Fan, Sofie tells the story of how she made an awkward bet while in bed that led her to realize how competitive she actually is. She walks the audience through how she stole a racehorse when she was just seven years old, and how she became the best boyband fan through conviction alone. Watch it now!
She'll Break Down What Feminism Is
When asked by a Danish reporter to define the broad movement that is feminism, Sofie quickly detailed the barebones of the movement. In this short clip, she details to her audience the burning question he followed up with and her personal philosophy on feminism.
She Isn't Afraid of a Good Roast Session
Comedian Larry Dean was struggling to keep up with Sofie’s witticism during their set at Comedy Central Roast Battle. Larry’s roasts on her dad and Wikipedia page did not faze her as Sofie fired right back by teasing him on his obscurity and how unfunny he is for a comedian.
