Sarah Millican

 

Sarah Millican divides her time as a writer and regular on the stand-up circuit . To date, she is developing ideas with BBC Manchester, Hat Trick North and Baby Cow. Her stageplay "Spent" was performed at The Customs House, South Shields, in September.
Sarah performed her first stand-up gig in September 2004 and rapidly ascended to become one of the north-east’s leading comics. Sarah's resolve to continue developing her writing and performance is reflected in the impressive number of accolades she has received this year: Not only did she win THE AMUSED MOOSE COMEDY AWARDS but she was a runner-up in both FUNNY WOMEN and SO YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY and was runner-up in the final of the BBC NEW COMEDY AWARDS Dec 2005.

"She had the audience roaring in recognition" - BBC Tees

One open spot later and she began her rapid ascent to become one of the North East's hottest comics. She has established herself as a crowd pleasing act with well written material and a gentle delivery style which disguises her cutting observations on life, love and moving back in with your parents.

She is a prolific writer and performer and gigs as often as possible all over the country. Armed with her wit, an abundance of smelly gel pens and a specially bought travel sponge, Sarah is about to venture beyond where her metro pass takes her and tell the country about her curtains. No, really.

Sarah has performed at all the top comedy clubs including The Comedy Store, The Stand , The Comedy Café, Banana Cabaret, HI FI Club , Funny Bones ,   The Frog and Bucket, Just Laugh, Up The Creek, Ginglick, The Other Side , Comedy Junction and many Mirth Control gigs and she aims to cover every gig everywhere!

"Millican is softly spoken (with a seductively lilting North-Eastern accent), cool, calm and collected, and talks maturely about her life. She paints a delightful picture of her domestic situation, recently divorced and living back home with her mother and father - a man with an uncanny knack to be utterly heartless by complete accident. It's assured, accomplished stuff and we'll be hearing a lot more of it on the circuit" - Chortle

" Slick " - BBC Wear
