| 0:00.0 | Live from the Soho Theatre, the Spontennessee Shop presents the guilty feminists with me, Deborah |
| 0:12.0 | Francis White and my very special guests. Jess Robinson, Alison Spittal, Sikisa and Grace Petrie. |
| 0:20.0 | I only say keep it going because I had a lot of stuff to carry. |
| 0:23.8 | It looked like I was moving house and I was juggling things and thinking, |
| 0:26.6 | it's not your fault this is taking too long for me to get here. |
| 0:29.9 | You applauded the length of time you thought it would go on. |
| 0:32.9 | But I could just see how awful it was to walk, |
| 0:37.1 | to get off what is effectively a shelf and to |
| 0:40.9 | step off a shelf to dead silence in a caftan admittedly a fabulous caftan that's right that's right I am in |
| 0:51.4 | my caftan era now it'll be a turban soon like a sort sort of, you know, like 1970s, like Margot Ledbetter. That's a joke for only very few people who remember the Good Life on BBC, a sitcom. It's not for young people, don't worry about it. You remember it. Thank you. Thank you.

| 1:12.9 | That's really funny if you look at me right now, isn't it? |
| 1:15.9 | Don't say no. You're the only one it was for. |
| 1:18.9 | Don't say no. God, if it's a no, then that joke was for precisely nobody. |
| 1:24.1 | Just give us a cheer if you are more guilty than feminist. |
| 1:30.9 | Just the comedians then at the back. |
| 1:33.3 | Give us a cheer if you're more feminist than guilty? |
| 1:36.5 | Wow. |
| 1:37.0 | See, normally on a Friday night is the other way around. |
| 1:39.1 | It's normally the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night shows where the feminist people come. |
| 2:06.0 | And then Friday night people are here to let loose. Honest feminists don't trust Friday night shows. They know what they're like. They're like, no, I've been before on a Friday. It's mostly jokes. They come for the true activists. They come for the people. They come for a bit of light entertainment at the beginning. Some I'm a feminist butts, some lolls, and then they want to hear something very serious and troubling. And then sometimes people say, do you ever get heckled at the guilty feminist? I say, the only heckle we ever get |
| 2:10.3 | is, how can we help? However, Soho Theatre is a whole other gear. When we come here, we once |
| 2:16.8 | did a show here, and it was a really good show as well. |
