With books such as Alte weiße Männer, Komplett Gänsehaut, Pick Me Girls, and most recently Wie kann sie nur?, author, host, and podcaster Sophie Passmann regularly tops the Spiegel bestseller lists and has emerged as one of the most influential feminist voices of her generation. Debate-loving and provocative, she captivates a wide audience beyond Germany’s borders with her sharp humor, clear stance, and socio-political acumen.

‎‎

Until the end of 2024, she appeared regularly at the Berliner Ensemble in the stage adaptation of her bestselling book Pick Me Girls – a production directed by Christina Tscharyiski. The critically acclaimed production marked her theater debut and is more than just stand-up comedy: with sharp wit and honesty, Passmann talks about self-denial, the need for male approval – and how she herself was caught right in the middle of it all.

‎‎

The consistently sold-out and fan-acclaimed production is now coming to the big screen as an exclusive theatrical release starting June 24.

About

“I’m not like other women” – not just an excessive overestimation of one’s own individuality, but also a denigration of one’s own self: not as beautiful, not as thin. Especially as a woman, you’re confronted with being judged from a young age: the male gaze, being desired, is the most important currency of all. If attention and recognition from men are the highest good for a woman, then she’s often labeled a “pick me girl.”
