Maybe it’s because it’s delivered by a woman and a diminutive one at that but there’s something especially naughty about seeing Sarah Millican live. The men in the audience in particular are treated to a glimpse into the bike shed of a North East all girls comprehensive and boy can those lasses swear!
As Sarah says, she really likes swearing and can’t do it on the telly. Well she made up for it on the Lincoln leg of her sell out tour at the Engine Shed last night when she had a packed audience in stitches as she regaled us with hilarious stories of girlie foibles, the contest that is daily life in a relationship and the Millican family in all their bonkers glory.
La Millican didn’t hold back on the sort of material that in some comedians hands would be really beyond the pale but some how it was delivered with such an innocence and of course in that charming Geordie accent that is made for comedy it was just, well, funny.
We weren’t expecting an encore, I’m sure there wasn’t one, unusually for a comedy act, at her last appearance in Lincoln at the Drill Hall but return she did last night and she was well prepared with some new jokes to try out which she had written down on a piece of paper and which she marked according to whether they hit the mark or not. Needless to say they did.
