I loved Sarah Millican for years. She’s about the same age as me, and as fat (a word she herself embraces) so 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, um, lady part, 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.
