Ian Wolf. "Episode 1.4". British Comedy Guide. Archived from the original on 18 April 2012 . Retrieved 9 October 2010. From a literary point of view the text was disjointed, repetitive and mismatched, despite being written in list form. However, there were some strokes of brilliance amongst the mundane. Weighing in on topics such as mental health, body image, feminism and building a career, Sarah’s insightful commentary resonates with women from all walks of life. Her emphasis on working hard instead of relying on talent alone was incredibly impactful and inspiring, already motivating me in my own life. There are few role models in the comedy world for women. Sarah Millican is a battle-hardened Everywoman who is not afraid (or if she is, she's tough enough to live with the embarrassment) to share her faults, her farts and her frailties. Pictures of bad hairdos and weight gains, discussions about her IBS - if only we could all feel comfortable enough to make light of the less glamorous parts of ourselves and laugh at them.

In 2019, Millican began presenting the comedy panel show Elephant in the Room for Radio 4. [30] [31] The show focuses on the panellists being asked about various life experiences and testing who is closest and farthest from the national average, and Millican has said that she wishes to defy typical panel show gender ratios on the show by having "three champion women and one smashing male". You can't get more honest than this, Sarah lets it all hang out (and yes, of course I mean literally) and covers some prominent episodes in her life that may be familiar (that disgusting scene at the BAFTAs when her outfit caused internet furore).

Sarah begins with explaining how life was for her as a youngster during the miners strike such as when the French Miners donated lots of toys for the children of the miners for Christmas. She also explains that they all had little badges saying that "Santa supports the Miners" too. For Radio 4, Millican began presenting the comedy panel show Elephant in the Room in 2019. It features panellists being asked about various life experiences and testing who is closest and farthest from the national average. Still in 2011, she became a panelist on the programme Marriage Ref on ITV and also joined the panel on the daytime chat show Loose Women. She however left the series in August. Soon after, she became a guest on several other panels and chat shows. In the same year, a live DVD of her Chatterbox tour was released in November by Channel 4.It may be worth beginning with a warning that there is a lot of very frank and intimate talk about sex and bodily functions of all kinds, often using what the TV continuity people would warn us is Very Strong Language. Personally I find this refreshing and often very funny, but if it's not your thing then this definitely isn't a book for you. The author encourages us to do this. She's also inspired me to get on with something I've been planning for years with her talk of hard work paying off if talent doesn't do the work. Very true, Sarah. Also in 2011, Millican became a panellist on the ITV programme The Marriage Ref and joined the panel on ITV daytime chat show Loose Women, leaving the series in August. She was also a guest on several other panel and chat shows. A live DVD of her Chatterbox tour was released in November 2011 by Channel 4. [23] The Chatterbox DVD went on to break an all-time record in sales for a female stand-up comedian selling 172,000 copies in just over one month. [24] Many a chapter deal with the impact of bullying, making someone feel ashamed for who they are and the importance of being kind to one another however, it was sad to see that Sarah’s tolerance did not extend itself to matters of faith. Her frequent digs at religious people left a sour taste in my mouth, the phrase “practice what you preach” springing to mind. During the Fringe 2010, Millican performed her third show, Chatterbox, which was hosted by the Stand Comedy Club. The show was nominated for the main Edinburgh Comedy Award, but lost to Russell Kane.

As it says in the blurb this book really is part Autobiography and part self help. Along with some of the stories Sarah has added a little advice at the end of how either she dealt with the situation or could have dealt with the individual circumstances. 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!Chitra Ramaswamy (10 August 2008). "Sarah Millican preview". Scotland on Sunday . Retrieved 13 May 2009.

Cambridge Footlights ( Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Tony Slattery, Emma Thompson, Penny Dwyer and Paul Shearer)Sarah Millican is one of those people whose fame will never change her. She's had too much "normal" in her life to succumb to snobbery and egotism. By normal, I mean the same struggles with relationships, making friends, being bullied, her weight, etc. that the rest of us deal with in our lives. She's put in the time and sweat in normal jobs while she worked hard to develop her career, and I think she's a huge success. She's one of my favorite comedians, and it was interesting to get to know her, especially since she reads her autobiography herself.
