Gigging
since 2005 Sarah Millican was making swift progress, picking up awards aplenty
along the way, but it was winning Best Newcomer at the 2008 If.Comedy Awards
that catapulted her to fame. Since then she’s enjoyed sell-out audiences for
her last two Edinburgh Festival shows and made frequent television appearances on
shows such as Mock the Week, Michael Mcintyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Have I Got
News For You and 8 Out of 10 Cats.
One of
the hottest comics on today’s circuit, performing at all the top comedy clubs,
Sarah has established herself as a crowd-pleasing act with well-written material
and a gentle delivery style that disguises her cutting observations on life. She’s
often cited as the leading female comic on the UK circuit.
An
experienced and hard working live performer, Sarah has recently performed at
the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, where she was nominated for the
prestigious Barry Award, and at the Kilkenny Cat Laughs Festival. In August
2009 she enjoyed a complete sell out run including extra dates that were added
due to demand, with her critically acclaimed second Edinburgh Fringe show,
Sarah Millican: Typical Woman.
"A mercilessly unsentimental wit…her set is as neatly constructed as her individual, triple-punchline jokes" - The Daily Telegraph
"It's credit to Millican's talent that her man-baiting isn't man-alienating; the blokes in the audience howl as loudly as the women. There isn't a spare second in this gag-packed, deliciously dark show. One of the hottest prospects on the UK circuit." - Metro
