Extract from her Edinburgh show

Here’s Sophie Garrad talking about a hospital stay last year – when she unexpectedly found out she was expecting a baby. 

And it was an ectopic pregnancy that needed emergency surgery, conducted by people who recognised her from social media.

The routine comes from the comedian’s show A Period Drama, being staged at Pleasance Dome at 18:50 during the Edinburgh Fringe.

It was recorded at Chortle's Fast Fringe – which is on at Pleasance Dome at 18:30 daily. Tickets here.
