Sarah Millican

We booked the tickets in June and were very excited at the thought of seeing “our friend” Sarah whose occasional “basic “ humour we can readily accept and laugh at because it is part of her and her skill at delivering it is stunning. We have built up a relationship with her over the years.(thanks to you tube) and she has earned our presence and our money !
So……in came Sarah……Yay ! Big smiles from us and a warm feeling that she is actually here in Nelson !
5 minutes later she had gone, after introducing a support act, which was the first we knew about there being one….another female comedienne, except she wasn’t. She was a vulgar shocking untalented assault on our senses.She also shouted over the microphone.
When Sarah returned we found it difficult to open up to her after having clammed up to protect ourselves.
How can this happen ? An untalented and inappropriate person with a very specific following if any, has a ready made captive audience ?
I am wondering how this goes with trade description rules……anyone know ?

Jenny Pattrick, one of Aotearoa’s most loved writers (The Denniston Rose) and director, Lyndee-Jane Rutherford (Prima Facie), present, HOPE, a family drama rising hot from within.

In the near future, a controversial government bill bars people with terminal illnesses from receiving treatment. Pianist Irina, a Ukrainian refugee, is cared for at home by her son with a dubious mix of natural and illegal remedies. When Irina’s feisty daughter returns from the war and a famous former pupil appears on their doorstep, hope and delusion blur together making us question the morality of fighting for your life and your loved ones.

On at Circa Theatre, 25 January - 23 February 2025.
