About this listen

Doon Mackichan is best known for her comedy characters in the hugely popular Brass Eye, Smack the Pony and Toast of London – but throughout her career there are parts she’s refused to take and roles she’s been forced to play.

The Feisty Feminist. The Hot Lesbian. The Desperate Cougar.

In My Lady Parts, Doon shares her experience on stage, screen and in real life, examining how our culture still expects women to adhere to certain stereotypes – and punishes those who don’t. Doon looks at the stories we are telling and asks: what do these roles we give women tell us about their value in the society we live in? How do we hold our heads up without fear and say no to those that objectify us?

The Deranged Mother. The Stupid Tart. The Hag.

This is a courageous, vulnerable and empowering account of being a woman in an industry that has been exposed for its deep-rooted sexism. It is, above all, a call to reflect on – and radically rework – the implications such attitudes have for future generations.

Critic Reviews

Fierce, frank and funny, this is Doon at her very best. This book demonstrates that she is, and always has been, a trailblazer (SANDI TOKSVIG)
An articulate, whole-hearted and blazing account. Doon’s been the bravest of us, someone who has consistently called out bad behaviour and unnecessary obstacles and challenged the industry to have more imagination towards women, even when doing so would cost her professionally. She’s a role model to me and many others. Required reading - made me feel angrier and determined to be braver (SALLY PHILLIPS)
A sparkling, poetic and gloriousy witty whirl through Doon's brilliant career, with moments of deep poignancy and a bracing dose of feminist ire. Loved it! (APRIL DE ANGELIS)
