1. Pre-Stand-Up, Stand-Up
Sarah Millican reads from her memoir. She describes how she discovered her talent for writing and performing comedy. From 2017.
Part-autobiography, part-self-help book, Sarah Millican's memoir is a funny, honest and sometimes outrageous account of how she went from being a quiet, bookish child to becoming one of Britain's most successful and best-loved comedians.
She covers a wide range of subjects: from a love letter to her knockers, to coping with bullies; from a passionate defence of her decision not to have kids, to the recipe for her favourite cake, Sarah also gives hard-learned tips on how you too can be champion.
In this first episode, Sarah describes the life-changing moment she discovered her talent for writing and performing comedy in front of an audience of strangers.
Since winning the 2008 if.comedy Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for her debut solo show, 'Sarah Millican's Not Nice', Sarah has established herself as a household name, having been nominated three times for The British Comedy Awards People's Choice: Queen of Comedy and winning the award in 2011. A two time BAFTA nominee for The Sarah Millican Television Programme, Sarah's other television credits include two appearances on The Royal Variety Performance and four appearances on flagship 麻豆社 stand-up show Live at The Apollo.
