Since winning the 2008 if.comedy Best Newcomer Award for her debut solo show Sarah Millican’s Not Nice at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Sarah has fast established herself as a household name, capping off an amazing 2011 by being crowned The People’s Choice: Queen of Comedy at The British Comedy Awards and releasing her debut DVD Chatterbox Live which is already the biggest selling stand-up DVD by a female comedian of all time, shifting over 150,000 units in the first five weeks of release alone. A consummate live performer, she has notched up countless appearances on top comedy shows including Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Live at the Apollo, Frank Skinner’s Opinionated and as a headliner on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow. Sarah is currently developing her own series for BBC2, The Sarah Millican Show, which is due to go out in spring 2012. She has featured as a regular on the Radio 5 Live’s 7 Day Sunday and two series of her self-penned Sarah Millican’s Support Group have aired on Radio 4. In December 2010 Sarah appeared at The Royal Variety Performance performing stand-up to Princes Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall at the Palladium Theatre.
After two critically acclaimed, sell out Edinburgh Fringe runs in 2008/9, Sarah returned to Edinburgh in August 2010 with a brand new show, Chatterbox. An unqualified success, Sarah capped the brilliant sell out-run with a nomination for the much sought-after Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award, affirming her status as one of the most exciting comics in the country. In the autumn of 2010 she embarked on her first national tour, also named Chatterbox which completely sold out and in March 2011 announced her second national tour, Thoroughly Modern Millican which sold almost 45,000 tickets in the first week of it going on sale.

On the 2008 If. Comedy Best Newcomer Award winning show Sarah Millican’s Not Nice
It requires exceptional skill to be a cruel yet likeable comedian and Sarah Millican nails the contradiction beautifully with a wonderfully
assured Fringe debut
The Scotsman ****
A mercilessly unsentimental wit…her set is as neatly constructed as her individual, triple-punchline jokes
The Daily Telegraph
It's credit to Millican's talent that her man-baiting isn't man-alienating; the blokes in the audience howl as loudly as the women.
There isn't a spare second in this gag-packed, deliciously dark show.
One of the hottest prospects on the UK circuit
Metro *****
British comedy needs a new female star and might just have got one
The Herald ****
She surely has one of the highest gags-per-minute counts on the Fringe, with punchlines arriving every few beats with unwavering
punctuality….Laughs come thick and fast.
Millican has a frank, self-effacing manner and an obtuse approach to writing that avoids clichés and refreshes the genre.
An impressive, and consistently funny, festival debut.
Chortle ****
A delightfully dirty and hilarious show.
Three Weeks ****
Millican’s gift is in her gentle, unthreatening delivery and the way she engages with the audience.
This is a fully crafted first show and a real delight

An incredibly honed, laugh-every-ten-seconds performance
Time Out
The hour flew by… very funny
