One of the UK’s funniest women
South Shields-born Sarah Millican followed an unusual path to fame. Left unexpectedly by her husband in 2004, she moved back home with her parents and started taking writing workshops as an outlet for processing her emotions.
Her first ever stand-up gig was in a Newcastle pub called The Dog & Parrot, which had a fringe theatre upstairs. Although she had no idea what she was doing, Millican drew on the pain of her failed marriage and connected with the audience… from then on, she was hooked on live comedy.
Millican made her debut at the Edinburgh Fringe with Not Nice in 2008 and was named Best Newcomer in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. She continued to garner acclaim when she returned in 2009 with her battle of the sexes themed Typical Woman and again in 2010 with her fast-talking Chatterbox.
Soon after she started making the rounds on TV comedy and panel shows like 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Mock The Week, Live At The Apollo and Have I Got News For You.
In 2010 she appeared in her own radio series, Sarah Millican’s Support Group, as a modern-day agony aunt and was also invited to perform as part of The Royal Variety Performance. The following year she was invited to join the panel of the popular ITV show Loose Women.
Her own TV show, The Sarah Millican Television Programme, combining stand-up with celebrity interviews, arrived in 2012 and ran for three series.
Millican founded an online magazine for women in 2014 called Standard Issue and launched a spinoff podcast by the same name in 2016. Her autobiography How to be Champion was published in 2017.
In 2018, Millican toured Control Enthusiast in the UK and abroad, with the show later being released on DVD. She began presenting Radio 4’s comedy panel programme Elephant in the Room in 2019.
Millican said she spent much of 2020 writing jokes. At the end of the year, she announced the result – a bigger backside and the new stand-up show, Bobby Dazzler, which she’d take on her sixth international tour in 2021 and 2022.
Sarah Millican is hitting the road with her Bobby Dazzler tour from 1 May 2021 – 7 October 2022.
Among the many UK cities Sarah Millican will stop in with Bobby Dazzler are the following:
For Sarah Millican’s sixth international tour, Bobby Dazzler, she said she’ll share her wisdom on how to throw poo over a wall and how awful it is in a floatation tank. Millican will also explain what happens when your mouth seals shut, share details of a surprisingly funny smear test and cover much more.
Tickets for Sarah Millican’s tour dates in 2021 and 2022 are on sale now.
Really enjoyed the show, Sarah Millican does not disappoint! York Barbican is a great venue.
Very relatable and quick witted and super funny all at the same time. So glad we saw her as we had a very enjoyable night.
Laughed from start to finish, Sarah was brilliant!
I'm a big fan of Sarah and love everything she does . She's unique and so so funny. Myself and my Husband were really looking forward to seeing her. What we could hear was really good but the sound system was bad and missed out on a lot of what she was saying We had good seats on the front row of circle on the left hand side of the stage so thought these seats would be perfect. Some friends of ours were sat three rows back from us and left at the interval as they couldn't hear Sarah. Not sure if the problem was with Sarah's sound system or the City Hall but was a bit disappointed.
Brilliant Laughed the whole time Support excellent It was laughter therapy for myself and my friend . Xx
From introducing the trigger warnings at the start till the very end my friend and I did not stop laughing. Every situation relatable.
Sarah and hayley thankyou for a exactly what my husband and I needed lots of laughter until our jaws and sides hurt!! You guys are brilliant never disappointed hope to see you next year!!
Sarah's warm up act Helen was great and Sarah herself was amazing, so funny that my face hurt from laughing so much.
What a fabulous night laughed so much such a brilliant woman 🤩
Brilliant night, city hall is always my favourite venue and Sarah was absolutely brilliant. First time I have seen her and she didn't disappoint. Would definitely see her again.
