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.

As I explained above, my Auntie was a hairdresser and I went on to become a hairdresser so really identified with the whole customers with unrealistic expectations bringing in photographs from a magazine asking for hair like the picture. I loved how Sarah's mum's example was "they had four hairs and a picture of Elizabeth Taylor" and Sarah's mum would say, "It's a pair of scissors I have got not a wand!" https://www.amusedmoose.com/amused-moose-comedy-awards/amused-moose-comedy-award-2005/ Amused Moose Comedy Award 2005Alongside this are some very funny takes on less world-changing aspects of everyday life.

I enjoyed How To be Champion. I like Sarah Millican's stand-up, and this, too, is funny (of course), human and thoughtful.

How to book Sarah Millican for your event

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. Due to the style it is written in, I found it to be most enjoyable if read a chapter at a time instead of blowing through. A few parts were funny, but I highly suspect that had I instead watched her perform the same material or listened to her read it on audiobook that it would have been hilarious. No matter which format you choose, in addition to making you smile, she offers great nuggets of wisdom. That said, I guess it seems odd that I rated it 3 stars; it's truly 3.5 rounded down because I didn't reach the same level of enjoyment and laughter that I do from her actual stand-up routines. Her life hasn't been one long joke. Perfectly enjoyable audio book, but not to the point that I'm going to start recommending it to everyone I know--just to people who like bios and comedy. 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. First of all, I read this because I am a fan of Sarah Millican. I have seen her live and watched many of her DVDs and wandered around YouTube listening to bits and pieces. There is something about what she talks about in her stand up and general day life that makes me smile, laugh out loud and totally relate to.
