The story of the woman from South Shields who has rapidly become the most successful female comedian in the country. Sarah has drawn upon the breakup of her marriage in 2004 to forge a new life and career. She initially took solace in joining writing workshops and then moved quickly on to performing in small pubs and clubs. Only four years later she won the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh fringe. Journalist Tina Campanella has written the first biography of this remarkable woman. From her early days growing up amidst the hardship of the miners' strike, to the divorce that actually provided the springboard to the dramatic change of direction her life then took, Sarah's story is fascinating and inspiring. Sarah is touring the UK throughout Autumn 2013.
