About this Event
To celebrate Libraries Week, Liverpool Libraries and Information Services are pleased to invite a critically-acclaimed comedian and Twitter sensation Laura Lexx to perform a special ‘bedtime story for adults’, where she will read from her debut book, Klopp Actually, and answer audience questions.
So tuck the kids into bed, pour a glass of wine, and get ready to enter to ‘stomach-achingly funny’ world of Laura Lexx.
About Klopp Actually:
Klopp Actually is a hilarious diary of married life with the sensible, no-nonsense man of all our dreams: Jürgen Klopp, born from Lexx’s viral tweet:
‘If I ever met Jürgen Klopp I’d say “omg if we have a baby we should call it Klipp” just so he’d raise an eyebrow at me and tell me I’m a moron and I’d be so naked by the time he’d finished doing that…’ .
In these uncertain times, we all need a coping mechanism. And Laura Lexx has found the obvious one – imagining life married to Jürgen Klopp. She thinks maybe he has something to do with football? More importantly, he definitely knows how to efficiently stack a dishwasher and would tell you honestly if you were being unreasonable about a colleague. From job interviews to furniture shopping in IKEA to making a birthday cake for their daughter, Klipp, Klopp Actually is a hilarious, warm and deeply silly diary of life with everyone’s favourite baseball-cap-wearing, bespectacled German football manager.
About Laura Lexx:
