MEGA INFLUENCE! – Sarah Millican
Sarah Millican is an English comedian.
She is a main influence for my piece. I would like to do a stand up-esque performance. I especially like the way she story-tells whilst performing her stand up shows. A lot of her comedy is inspired by relationships and the difference between men and women which I find really interesting. The way that she physically gestures using her hands and full body is something that I would like to adopt into my own performance. I think it is important to not just purely rely on words whilst doing stand up, and that the full body should be incorporated.
The following clip that I have attached is a clear example of her comedy style: mixing innocent jokes and stories and integrating them with crude innuendo and shocking punchlines. I absolutely adore this style of comedy and would like to add it into my performance.
