Admin

An adorable debut from the world's youngest, smallest, most normal comedian. Sarah Roberts has been condemned to live a thousand lives. She was Henry VIII in her previous life, ate her twin in the womb (not an accident), and most recently got facial reconstructive surgery. Now she's being reborn as the person she hates most: herself. Directed by Daniel Emery and Molly Stacey. 'Phenomenal new talent, destined for stardom' (Catherine Bohart). 'Remarkable' (ThreeWeeks). 'Certified hottie' **** (TheSpyintheStalls.com). 'Utterly self-absorbed' (Chortle.co.uk). BBC Comedy Award nominee, Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year runner-up, level 9461 on Candy Crush.
