Penguin Random House: Phoebe Robinson and Glennon Doyle Celebrate the Release of Robinson’s New Essay Collection

Phoebe Robinson, multitalented stand-up comedian, New York Times bestselling writer, and founder of Tiny Reparations Books, will celebrate the publication of her new essay collection, PLEASE DON’T SIT ON MY BED IN YOUR OUTSIDE CLOTHES, with a special virtual launch event featuring a conversation with New York Times bestselling author and activist Glennon Doyle, on Monday, September 27 at 6:00 pm. To register and for more information about this ticketed event, co-hosted by Loyalty Bookstore, Fulton Street Books, and Café Con Libros, click here.

In PLEASE DON’T SIT ON MY BED IN YOUR OUTSIDE CLOTHES, by turns perceptive, humorous, and heartfelt, Robinson shares stories that look at our current cultural moment, some laced with spot-on pop culture references, on a wide range of topics. She’ll make readers laugh, inspire a little bit of rage, and maybe a lot of action.

Phoebe Robinson is best known as the co-creator and costar of the hit podcast-turned-TV-show 2 Dope Queens, which aired eight hour-long specials on HBO in February 2018 and 2019. She will have her first solo stand-up special on HBO Max this October.

On her second WNYC Studios podcast, the critically acclaimed talk show, Sooo Many White Guys, Phoebe interviews the likes of Tom Hanks, Issa Rae, Abbi Jacobson, and many more. Robinson is also making her presence known in publishing as the author of the New York Times bestseller You Can’t Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain, a collection of essays about race, gender, and pop culture. She is also the founder of her own imprint, Tiny Reparations Books, in partnership with Plume.
