Fat girls have all the fun! And none more so than Miranda Kane, who became Melody - a £2000 a night escort, and weighed over 300lbs to boot. In this tell-all comedy, she exposes the truth about sex workers, their clients, and the hilarious, heart-warming and often bizarre moments in a unique career. It's an eye-opening look at a fascinating industry with hilarious anecdotes and a no-holes barred (no pun intended) Q&A. Even if it's not your first time with a prostitute, it'll be the funniest!

More details

Miranda Kane brings her one comedy woman show The Coin Operated Girl to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

The Coin Operated Girl tells the true story of Miranda's previous career as a £2000 a night escort who weighed over 300lbs (25 stone) at the height of her success.

In this tell-all comedy, she exposes the truth about sex workers, their clients and shares heart-warming and often bizarre moments in her fascinating career.

This show was a sell-out at the Brighton Fringe Festival and is a no-holes barred (no pun intended) comedy performance with anecdotal stories and a Q&A session. Miranda aims to give audiences the opportunity to think about their preconceptions of sex workers and plenty of big laughs. Coin-Operated Girl offers a witty new angle on the world of sex-work.

Miranda Kane was a sex-worker for 7 years. She is now a loud, proud stand-up comedian and advocate for Sex Worker rights. Since her change of career she has reached the 2012 'So You Think You're Funny?' semi-finals and is on the Funny Women One To Watch list.
