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.
The Armadillo is small and just perfect loved loved the experience, staff all from security to bar staff and joanne manager was exceptionally helpful and kind I will be back asap.🥰🥰🥰 thank you. PS Booze could be cheaper.
Great show great atmosphere and lovely venue. Hilariously funny as always and her brilliant support act gearoid farrelly was fabulous.
Sarah was fantastic, what a funny show and the support act was great as well. She is so self deprecating my ribs were sore with laughing
What a fantastic night. Laugh out loud from start to finish and I would thoroughly recommend it. I will be there again next time
It was my second time seeing Sarah and she did not disappoint. Decided to take my 17 year old daughter who is getting used to my comedy needs. Booked this in 2022 for Christmas but accidentally booked it for 2024 instead of 2023. Turned out to be the best thing as she wouldn't have been ready last year. We both laughed all night but I definitely laughed louder! I'm 50 so was able to understand and sympathise with a lot of what Sarah said! Will be back! 🤣🤣🤣
The show brilliant really enjoyed it was hilarious would definitely recommend seeing Sarah Millican.
Fantastic show, laughed all way through it. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely fantastic night. Never stopped laughing. Always use ticketmaster spot on.
Unfortunately no bar open up the top. No lifts either so bit of a struggle if you are not great on your feet to drag drinks up the stairs. No seating either while you hang around. They opened the doors outside at 6.30 but you had to stand around for an hour before they opened the doors to the auditorium! My advice get there on time for the show starting as not welcoming to arrive early! The show was good but could have done with big screens to see her better.
Have seen Sarah Millican numerous times, she just gets better every time. So funny although not for the faint hearted! Support act Gearoid Farrelly was absolutely hilarious, all in all a terrific show, so enjoyed it
Really good show funny from start to finish. Support act was good as well.
Worth seeing , definitely not for the easily offended
Sarah is brilliantly funny, well worth going to see.
Good show as expected, saw her a few years ago and was looking forward to seeing more Support was funny too
Wow what and amazing night we had Sarah was brilliant, not for the faint hearted if you are easily offended, Sarah is hilarious and left us belly laughing, her support act Gearoid Farley was hilarious too. Will definitely be going to see her again, and will be going to see grearoid at the fringe .

Travelled 180 miles for the show. Venue was lovely. Staff so helpful and cheery. Wasn't sure about Gerrant. So loud it hurt 🤷🏼♀️ Sarah was certainly on form and fabulous as always. Hope there is another tour and ever hopeful of more on tv. Great night. 🥰🥰
