S2 EP3 Sue Perkins | Being Amazing Despite

The DO Lectures is an ideas sharing event run out of an old cowshed in Cardigan Bay, Wales. In this series of DO podcasts, Gav Thompson chats to people about how they have achieved their amazing levels of success, as well as uncovering some of the despites that they have had to overcome to get there.

Sue Perkins is one the the UK's best loved comedians, performers and TV presenters.

She chats to Gav about her time as President of the Cambridge Footlights, about starting out in the industry with her best friend Mel Giedroyc and the road that led to her becoming the queen of the baked goods light entertainment juggernaut, Bake Off. They talk about her very honest and refreshingly human approach to travel shows and debate when one becomes a National Treasure.

They also have a very revealing conversation about some of Sue's despites, such as her brain tumour and anxiety, as well as compare Dad dying stories.
