Helloooo, and welcome to Season 9 of Mads World! You're about to listen to Beyond Stereotypes: Being Queer & Working Class with @SophGalustian aka TikTok Lesbian!

This week I am joined by writer, actor comedian, and author Soph Galustian. Hailing from Manchester, Soph says she specializes in being gay and working class, whilst also being working class and gay. She has written and starred in her own comedy on BBC Three called Peck Eds, appeared as a series regular alongside Simon Bird in Everyone Else Burns, and her debut book, No Worries If Not, has just been released coming in at No.1 in Lesbian Poetry!

Soph started posting TikTok's less than 6 months ago and she has already amassed over 130k followers, and has gone viral many times for her stereotypical impression of a TikTok lesbian, which is why I've asked her on the podcast!

In this episode, we discuss the funniest comments on Soph's videos, opportunities she's encountered through her growth on TikTok, misconceptions, and stereotypes, how being queer and working class has defined her, the role models she had growing up, and how she hopes to impact people's lives within the gay working-class community.
