4. I've Had Proper Jobs
Sarah Millican reads from her memoir. Sarah reveals the variety of jobs she had before finding fame as a comedian. 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.
Before becoming an internationally acclaimed comedian, Sarah had a wide variety of proper jobs: from working in WH Smith as a teenager, to the Civil Service to audiobook producer.... All of which provided fertile ground for developing her comedy.
Written and read by Sarah Millican.
Abridged by Kirsteen Cameron.
Producer: Kirsteen Cameron
First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in October 2017.
