Sophie Bauer

Senior Comedy Critic, Lent 2011

Robinson, Russian and Spanish

Born in Germany and bred in France, the humiliation of her English teacher bestowing the name Pamela upon her forced her to flee and spend her tender teenage years in suburban Birmingham. Overall dedicated comedy fanatic, she'll review anything that may bring a smile to her weary face, from satire and stand-up to sketches and slapstick. Next year she will abandon the joys of student journalism in favour of living it up in Chile.
