Sarah Millican looks like a sweet lady you might share your office cubicle with. But she’s not. A quote on her flyer from the Metro (UK) calls her ‘wonderfully wrong’ and they’d be about right. This Geordie comedian starts her show by sharing her disdain for children, calling herself ‘a bit of a cow’, and rubbing and referring to her food-baby stomach as her cake shelf. Millican spends sixty minutes talking about breaking up, sex and other tidbits – and telling many glum- and glee-filled stories derived from her own life experiences.

On stage, Millican is spontaneous and upbeat. There’s a bit of general comic banter where she quizzes the audience on their own personal endeavours and sexual experiences, but where she truly shines is in her cleverly constructed gags. She is able to deliver punchline upon punchline in a timely fashion.

Millican’s lack of sentimentality and her hearty laugh ultimately make her more likeable than not. She’s filthy and funny throughout, and at the end of the hour she explains the double entendre in the show’s title, even giving the audience receiving free badges with the words so it’s impossible to forget.

Millican is an impressive newcomer, one I forecast we’ll be seeing plenty more of.
