I loved Sarah Millican for years. She’s about the same age as me and as fat (a word she uses for herself) meaning that she’s something of an icon to me. So when I saw she was touring, I bought tickets immediately.
God, she’s funny. There’s not a lot I can repeat here, given it was an extremely adult show, but there was a focus on lady parts, on getting older as a woman, and embracing aging rather than fighting it.
The audience was also asked to define themselves as either “late bloomers” or “eager beavers” – late bloomers being those of us late to getting boobs and so on, and eager beavers being… well, I’m sure you get the idea.
I’m definitely a late bloomer, not just in terms of adolescence but rediscovering myself post divorce. I found Sarah to be hysterically funny of course, but ever so relatable, and validating in a way.
