I think if my parents had supported me and encouraged me to do stand-up I'd probably be a doctor now I'd go no no no I think I'll do medicine yeah gets better because it has to get better.

We're all made of human.

Hello, my name is Sophie Hagen.

I am a stand-up comedian and you're listening to the made of human

podcast in short Mopod it's a podcast in which I speak to people about life I guess but like proper talk you know I try to stay away from small talk and

deflection and stuff like that I try to just talk. This week I'm speaking to Shassia Mirsa and I let you listen to a chat and just a bit.

I'm so happy that Shassia did the podcast. She was so poignant and funny and incredible and honest and I just I mean we've kicked together a few times but I've never really probably talked to her and it on like a very personal note it she just meant it was it meant the

world to me because Mark Watson is one of my closest friends one of my best

friends and he went to this island thing, this whatever,

Bear Grill, Celebrity Island bullshit where he had to be without, you know, anything to survive on an island for a month, meaning that I had to be very, very alone and he wasn't here to talk to me.

And I think that's the true sacrifice.

I don't know I and just if I had to be really selfish and I don't but if I did it was so hard. It was I cried in public when he told me. I don't cry and I don't cry in public, but I was just weeping on a train when he told me.

Like, I mean, it's ridiculous. I don't know why but I just gotten used to to him being there and I don't know

maybe I was this emotion about other stuff doesn't matter but anyways I was very sad when he left and I had to be alone

without him for a month and it sucked it very much sucked and then when he came back

I think I just felt weird about the whole thing I don't know I don't know why but we never we haven't really spoken about the island since he came back

But when Shassia because she was on the island too. That's why I mentioned it.

Shassia was on the island with him and I got to ask her questions about it. I got to, I don't know. It was like a month where he wasn't in my life in any kind of way and I got to, I don't know, kind of cover the holes in my memory of where he was that month.

I don't know if that makes any kind of sense, but Shassia was just amazing,

so just sat down before we even started recording and just went,

yeah, you know, I've heard about you from Mag

and he said this and this on the island and he was like this.
