How to be Champion: My Autobiography: Millican, Sarah

Of course there is some crossover in her stand up routines and this book. Clearly a lot of material came from real experiences. But if you laughed once, trust me you will laugh again and again. I did a lot of laughing out loud and it was a good job I was on my own in bed! Sarah Milligan begins this book by taking you through her school years, explaining who she was as well as who she really wanted to be using witty, sometimes ironic tales. I was drawn in by the very first tale she tells and held to the end of the book. She has since been nominated three times for The British Comedy Awards People's Choice: Queen of Comedy and won the award in 2011. In 2013, she was also nominated for the British Comedy Awards Best Female TV Comic for the fourth time, her eighth nomination in total. I enjoyed this more than other autobiographies i've read in the past. I had a laugh at most of it, and it was pretty relatable for a lot of it, which was surprising. I have seen Sarah Millican live and find her extremely funny. I like her style of humour and down to earth attitude. When I saw this for a bargain 99p, I thought what could go wrong.

No I'm not gushing. No. Definitely not. Girl crush - who said that? Alright, I loved it. I almost wish I'd got an audio copy, this could only have been improved by having the author reading it to me in her 'comfy' South Shields brogue. Millican's television series, The Sarah Millican Television Programme, was first broadcast on 8 March 2012 on BBC Two. In November 2012, she released a follow-up live DVD, Thoroughly Modern Millican. In early January 2013, she appeared for a couple of nights on The One Show. On 15 January 2013, she began presenting a second series of The Sarah Millican Television Programme. Millican was nominated for 2013 and 2014 BAFTA Entertainment Performance awards for her work in The Sarah Millican Television Programme. [25] There are seven signs of ageing, according to a well-known moisturiser brand – but Sarah Millican gives them very short shrift. Here instead are Millican’s own seven signs, none to do with skincare and most mainlining her trademark brand of vulgarity and intimate body comedy. Amid the merriment as the 47-year-old tells us about her experience of haemorrhoids, loose stools and farting through folds of flesh, there’s no point protesting that another sign of ageing, arguably, is the evolution of one’s taste and sensibility. Millican seems immune to that: this show offers precisely the combination of domestic, corporeal and sex comedy she’s always delivered on stage. The body may be ageing, but her comic craft exists in perfect stasis. In May 2015, it was announced that Millican would be made the eighth "curator" of The Museum of Curiosity, co-presenting the eighth series of the BBC Radio 4 comedy series.

The cover features Sarah wearing a yellow/mustard cardigan with the buttons fastened wrong, and her blouse underneath the with collar half in, half out! This attire,pose, and expression on Sarah's face will make more sense as you read the book. The cover certainly did it's job and drew my eyes to it, then encouraged me to read the blurb etc and finally choose to read the book. She was a regular co-host of the satirical news show 7 Day Sunday on BBC Radio 5 Live, along with comedians Chris Addison, Andy Zaltzman and one different guest each week. The first episode aired in January 2010; she and Addison left the show on 27 February 2011.I have watched Sarah Millican on a few different TV shows and one of her DVD's and found her quite funny. I also think she projects the fact she is a down to earth, normal person with everyday challenges both at work, with family and life. So as I find her quite relatable I wanted to read the blurb of this book which of course mentions different trials and tribulations from being of school age onward. Ballsy, brilliant honesty - as funny on paper as she is on a stage. Self-help combined with a personal history, doesn't shy away from pain and embarrassment.
