Critics Review

Witty, shocking in parts and written with real heart … has something to say to everyone

Witty, shocking in parts and written with real heart … has something to say to everyone * Sunday Times *
Hilariously well compiled … there are lashings of subtle wit and wisdom, all carried aloft on a fluid conversational style … an original voice that is unafraid of what others will think * Sunday Independent *

About The Author

Stefanie Preissner

Stefanie Preissner, Munich-born but Mallow-raised, is the creator of hit comedy-drama series Can’t Cope, Won’t Cope. The show was originally commissioned by RTE but since then both seasons have been broadcast on BBC and acquired by Netflix.

Why Can’t Everything Just Stay the Same?, her first book (published in 2017), was an Irish bestseller and nominated for an Irish Book Award. Can I Say No? is her second book.

She has also produced a series of short documentaries, How To Adult, with RTE Player.

Her one-woman theatre show, Solpadeine Is My Boyfriend, enjoyed sell-out runs in Dublin before touring internationally to Bucharest, Edinburgh and Australia, and - as a radio play - it became RTE’s most downloaded podcast.

Stefanie graduated from University College Cork with a BA in Drama and Theatre Studies and Spanish. Alongside her career as a screenwriter and playwright, she has won several awards as an actor.

She is a regular contributor to Ireland’s Sunday Independent newspaper and her voice is well-recognised from her prolific voiceover career.

She is currently working more projects than she can cope with due to her ongoing battle with people pleasing.

She lives in Dublin and on Instagram @stefaniepreissner
