Stand-Up

Main Info

Sara presents her new comedy show, Success Story.

Covid. Conflict. Cost of living. Climate. The 2020s are certainly providing stand-ups with plenty of material from which to chisel out and polish up all manner of comedy gems. And against so dramatic and often heartstrings-pulling a backdrop, there’s one thing about which Sara Pascoe is clear: There are no off-limit subjects when it comes to comedy...
“People forgive the subject matter when they find something funny,” she says, “but that doesn’t mean the comedian has no responsibility to question their own material. If they’re going to tell a joke about rape, they should first consider how you might feel if you’ve been a victim of it. If, after that, they still feel it’s a joke worth telling, then they’ll be doing so with complete faith in their own material, which is great.”
Sara visits the Midlands this month with her touring show, Success Story.
