Sara Pascoe is an Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated comedian, writer, and actor. Her work on stage, screen and page combines the personal, political, and observational. She's written and performed in her own radio series and BBC sitcom, is a bestselling author, and is a regular on panel and standup shows.
In her routines, Sara takes a wry, almost deadpan look at the more inexplicable aspects of life, love, and people. She questions why people wear T-shirts bearing the likenesses of more attractive people, and whether debt can be solved by installing card payment machines that are more like disapproving parents (” you’ve already got a coat. Make sure those shoes are black, so you can wear them for school as well.”)
As a standup Sara has performed on Live at the Apollo and Stand Up for the Week, and hosted Dave's answer to TED, Comedians Giving Lectures. She’s also appeared on Taskmaster, QI, Have I Got News For You, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, and Mock the Week, and Radio 4’s The News Quiz and Just A Minute
