Latitude: reflections on a weekend of comedy
Latitude has often used the tag-line 'more than just a music festival' and with an extensive arts line-up that's certainly true. The Suffolk festival has also grown into one of the largest comedy programmes on the circuit. The tents may now have been dismantled, but Fergus Morgan reflects back on a weekend's mirth in the festival's purple comedy arena.
Fergus Morgan, The Reviews Hub, 20th July 2016Latitude review: Sara Pascoe
Pascoe's set was mainly a truncated version of the truncated version of her touring show that I saw at Soho Theatre earlier this year.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 16th July 2016Sara Pascoe, 'Animal', reviewed at The Lowry
I would happily go and see Pascoe again - her positivity radiates though the audience members and you come away with a real feel good factor afterwards. Thanks for brightening up my weekend Sara and I look forward to your future offerings!
Lucy Moore, Female First, 12th July 2016Review: Sara Pascoe - Animal
A high point of the night for the Glasgow audience was a recollection of an altercation that Sara Pascoe had with a fan who wanted a selfie. A mixture of shock and hysterics as we learnt that it is never a good idea to show others photos on our phones without checking what is coming next.
Joe Gardner, TV Bomb, 27th June 2016Stand-up: unpretentious but often anti-intellectual
Comedians tend to apologise for making any highbrow references in their material. I wish more felt at ease quoting poetry like Liam Williams.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 24th June 2016Sara Pascoe on her new book
Sara Pascoe tells Janet Christie about her first book - part autobiography and part popular science - and why she wanted to juxtapose silly routines with something serious.
Janet Christie, The Scotsman, 15th June 2016Sara Pascoe discusses her new show 'Animal'
Sara Pascoe is talking to me about hoovers. Well, specifically, Henry the Hoover and his wife, Hetty. Nope, she's not comparing their cleaning powers or dust-bag capacities. She's discussing their personalities.
Female First, 13th June 2016Return of the unscripted show in which comic guests tell anecdotes and generally wibble on. First up, Stephen Fry, Sandi Toksvig, Sara Pascoe and Alex Edelman swap stories. Even if you''e minded to be cynical about letting comedians chatter so, the format works, principally because the intimate everyone-sitting-at-a-table setup makes it a kind of anti-Mock The Week - reflective rather than competitive. Continues all week.
Jonathan Wright, The Guardian, 11th June 2016Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled - series 4 review
The best thing about As Yet Untitled is the relaxed atmosphere. It is not a show about who has the best story to tell. It is a show that is about conversation.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 11th June 2016Interview: Sara Pascoe
The former musical comedian still has a social conscience intact as she takes her Animal for a walk across the country.
