Sophie Passmann: Pick Me Girls
80 min
With books such as *Alte weiße Männer*, *Komplett Gänsehaut*, “Pick Me Girls,” and most recently “Wie kann sie nur?” author, host, and podcaster Sophie Passmann regularly tops the Spiegel bestseller lists and has emerged as one of the most influential feminist voices of her generation. With her love of debate and provocative style, she captivates a wide audience far beyond Germany’s borders with her sharp humor, clear stance, and keen social and political insight. Until the end of 2024, she appeared regularly at the Berliner Ensemble in the stage adaptation of her best-selling book *Pick Me Girls*—a production directed by Christina Tscharyiski. The critically acclaimed production marked her theater debut and is more than just stand-up comedy: with sharp wit and honesty, Passmann talks about self-denial, the need for male approval—and how she herself was caught right in the middle of it all.
