Summary

This week on Walking The Dog, we’re taking a walk in North London with the brilliant comedian Lou Sanders. Lou has appeared on shows such as QI and Would I Lie To You? and she also won the eighth series of Taskmaster.

Lou is pretty obsessed with her two cats - she’s even moving house for them, but we think Ray won her over and scored a few points for Team Dog. Lou has a long history with cats - she even had one with showbiz aspirations... She tells us about being an alcoholic at a young age, moving out of her family home at 15 and how the complex relationship she had with her family has healed over time.

Lou’s book What’s That Lady Doing? is coming out in paperback on 18th July. You can pre-order your copy here!

Lou is on tour next year with her show No Kissing In The Bingo Hall. You can find tickets and dates at https://www.lousanders.com/
