Sara Pascoe - "Success Story" tour
To describe Sara Pascoe as a comedian, goes nowhere in describing to depth of talent she has, but in a departure from her usual self-effacing modesty, she has announced a tour from Autumn 2022 and called it “Success Story”. It is so nice when Covid seems to be making more comebacks than an ageing rock star that we have something bright, positive, and funny to look forward to. Sara begins the tour in Hayes in mid-November 2022 and wends her way around the country, spreading joy and probably selling some of her books from the merchandising stand until she reaches April 2023, and the Basingstoke Anvil.
Sara Pascoe is a highly acclaimed comedian, writer, and actor. She wrote and starred in her recent BBC2 sitcom Out Of Her Mind and is the celebrated host of BBC2’s The Great British Sewing Bee, BBC’s Last Woman On Earth, Dave’s Comedians Giving Lectures and Comedy Central’s Guessable. She also wrote and performed the BBC Radio 4 series Modern Monkey and the BBC2 short Sara Pascoe vs Monogamy, which was inspired by her first book Animal. Her second book, Sex Power Money, was a Sunday Times bestseller, and the accompanying podcast of the same name garnered millions of listens and multiple award nominations during its run.
Many of us have dreams of what we would like to be when we grow up, as for Sara she wanted to be famous at 14 years old. Since then, she has auditioned for Barrymore, scared Pete Burns and ruined Hugh Grant’s birthday - but look at her now! Helping other people to look good, as fellow comedian Aisling Bea said of Sara’s second book, Sex Power Money; “Important, timely, poignant, mind-blowing, and VERY FUNNY. Written with kindness, bravery and ridiculous attention to detail, it will make you feel cleverer without all the usual effort.”
As for the official line Sex Power Money, is described as a comedic and educational hopscotch over anatomy, the history of sexual representation and the sticky way all human interactions are underwritten by wealth, Pascoe explores whether we’ll ever be able to escape the Conundrum of Heterosexuality if women can’t help but admire status, and men obsess about youth and physicality. Drawing on anecdotal experience, unqualified opinion, interviews and research, Sex Power Money is thought-provoking and riotously funny: a fresh take on the oldest discussion.
If that is Sara in print, imagine how good it would be in real life, but why imagine?
