Reading pubescent and dead serious thoughts on love and annoying Mums from your teenage diary in front of an audience could possibly be some people’s worst nightmare, but a growing number of sane, Grazia-reading women are doing it voluntarily for their Friday night fun. It all started when Sarah Brown, a writer from Brooklyn, unearthed her old diaries at her parents’ house, and decided it would be a good idea to share the most embarrassing excerpts with her friends via a weekly email. This then evolved into a sell-out open mic Cringe Night in New York. Which has now been transported to London. Sarah has collected the best diary extracts from the open mic nights in a book called Cringe.
