Sophia Cleary: Performance Doula

SOBER SEX

Sophia Cleary is a queer multi-disciplinary powerhouse: actor, writer, artist, comedian and

performer drawing from experiences as diverse as being a birth doula, waiter and analyst for a

private investigator. Sophia has presented her work at esteemed venues around the world and

is presently host of monthly comedy show SMILE KNIFE and is workshopping her one woman

show ‘It Gets Worse’, which you can see in New York or Los Angeles. Sophia is also half of

feminist punk band, ‘Penis’. Welcome, Sophia, to Sober Sex.

This chat with Sophia was so funny and magical; she is a hilarious genius and it was a delight to get to know her better. We talk a lot about how it feels to be genre-free as an artist, about the joys of having a rock collection and how taking our own needs seriously allows us to live authentically and to make powerful art.
