DONG
About this audiobook
Ellie Darkwah has landed her first Big Girl TV Job. Unfortunately, it mainly involves fetching lunch for a hostile chorus of gammony misogynists. Living the dream? She’s regularly crying in the closest thing her office has to a closet. Which, for an undercover bisexual, is kind of triggering.
Enter rising comedian Rick, apparently the only straight white man in TV who doesn’t suck. Despite their age gap and occasional cultural differences they form a ride-or die friendship, ignoring the raised eyebrows of colleagues.
So what if Rick’s quirks get a touch more... problematic once fame hits?
When sordid skeletons start emerging in the entertainment industry, she’s suddenly being asked hard questions about Rick, now a household name and nationally recognised ‘good guy’.
The past may be messy, but Ellie would never turn a blind eye to an actual bad man. Especially one just under her nose...
Right?

About the author
Sophie Duker is a ‘breathtakingly gorgeous’ [unsubstantiated claim, citation needed] girl comedian. She spent years backstage in TV working the exhausted underling to entertainment producer pipeline, before falling through a trapdoor and becoming 'Talent' herself. Since her award-nominated debut at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival Fringe, her solo shows have consistently enjoyed sellout runs, international tours and widespread critical acclaim. She has acted alongside talents as diverse as Samuel L Jackson and Stephen Fry, supported comedy greats including Frankie Boyle, Ron Funches and Maria Bamford, and is perhaps best known as the only Taskmaster Champion with a tongue piercing.
Outside of her work as a performer and broadcaster, Sophie is an award-winning comedy writer and prolific sugar daughter. DONG is, excitingly, her first novel.
