ABOUT MIRANDA

Miranda Kane was a plus size sex-worker in London for over ten years. She has since written and starred in three series of the hit sit-com 'Slaving Away' on Audible.

She has also written for the Metro, and hosted their sex & relationship podcasts for seven years. She is a keen public speaker, and has taken part in debates about sex worker rights, and appeared on The Guilty Feminist, BBC, Channel 4 and spoken for TedX.

She is fat, funny, opinionated, and determined to make a noise.

My Story

I spent my twenties as a fat woman being paid to have weird, wonderful, vanilla, kink-fuelled, and slightly-dull-at-times sex with a variety of different people. I have spent many years since talking to folks about it, and trying to figure out how we can all improve our attitude towards sex and sex-work.

Yeah, that took me by surprise too.

Most people don't like to believe I had a life before that, but I did - and it was one filled with drama school and the love of performing and writing, which all lead me to stand-up comedy. However, even though I was telling everyone my sex-life was mundane, I actually had a little secret...

Tired of seeing the same, dehumanised sex-worker tropes on TV, I decided to come out of the closet and wrote and performed 'Coin Operated Girl' - a one woman show which went on to Edinburgh fringe, and sold out shows throughout the UK and Australia. I wanted the world to see that sex-workers are funny, fabulous, and come in all shapes and sizes.

I was delighted to be invited by Audible to write and star in my own sit-com, 'Slaving Away'. Now in its third season, it's been one of Audibles most downloaded series and features Catherine Steadman, Jon Holmes, Miriam Margolyes and Anthony Head among many others. And me!

After writing a series of columns for The Metro, I co-hosted their first sex podcast 'Good Sex/Bad Sex' with Bibi Lynch. It has since undergone a little rebrand, and I continue to discuss how to have safe, sane and consensual sex without fear, shame or judgement on the 'Smut Drop' podcast.

I began Club Indulge in 2013 as a way to provide safe, welcoming events for plus size people where they can enjoy a night with friends without worrying about what they look like. Fat liberation aims to break down the barriers and prejudices that people living in bigger bodies are subjected to on a daily basis, and my aim with all our events is to help plus size people find confidence through camaraderie.

I love performing in all manner of ways, so you can still find me guesting on various podcasts because I am very happy to chat about sex worker rights and fat liberation to anyone who will listen. I am now taking more steps into acting, and might - at some point - write That Book.
