The Sara Pascoe three minute interview

Everything that has happened to us shapes who we are today... does free will even exist? Who knows? Sara Pascoe is at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Sara Pascoe vs History. Martin Walker asks the questions.

Sara Pascoe and John Robins, Edinburgh Previews

What I loved most about Sara Pascoe's show was that she talked very openly regarding her feminist views without leaving a resentful feel in the air. John Robins' new show is very strong, with a good balance of accessible observations with brilliant acted out scenes.

"It's really important to do things that scare you," the 33- year-old says, "and that's why I'd recommend anyone to try comedy. There are lots of people who play football at the weekend who don't want to be premiership footballers; it can still be a part of your life."

Edinburgh Fringe Preview: Sara Pascoe

I've been tipping Sara Pascoe for stardom for so long now if she doesn't make it big soon it is going to start becoming embarrassing.

In time for the low-hanging comedic fruit of England's World Cup campaign, a return for the standard mix of mock-incredulity at everyday minutiae, repeated plunges into well-thumbed stand-up routines and hefty helpings of "epic" banter. This second episode of this new series has series mainstays Dara O'Briain, Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons being joined by Rob Beckett, Gary Delaney, Josh Widdicombe and Sara Pascoe, the last possibly pressured to prove she's there on merit rather than due to a dictum from the BBC Trust.

Radio Times review

Alex Horne's bumbling jazz jesters are back for another series, and clearly have no shortage of ideas. This week they tackle turntables, mariachi music and the humble Teasmade, combining sharp stand-up comedy with even sharper musical chops.

There's also a wonderful guest appearance from Sara Pascoe, performing a self-penned five-minute musical about her life as a vegetarian. It's far funnier than it has any right to be. A few of the sight-gags fall flat (as visual comedy does on radio), but the raucous live atmosphere makes up for any shortcomings. After all, who doesn't want humour you can hum along to?

The serious side of Sara Pascoe's comedy

"I'm not a funny person" says Sara Pascoe. "I was never the class clown. A lot of comedians were; they definitely knew that comedy was how you got people to like you or not to fight you, but I didn't have those tools. I'm a very earnest person."
