Press clippings
The geordie comedy sensation performs last year's excellent live tour routine, about settling into the next phase of life, to her home crowd in Newcastle. Topics covered include personal grooming ("just keep it inside the pants"), pensioner swearing and unhelpful women's magazines. Millican impresses with her mime skills, too, illustrating several gags with extremely evocative hand actions. Like the best comics, she knows what you expect of her yet still manages to keep the surprises coming.
Julia Raeside, The Guardian, 19th June 2015Sarah Millican - Home Bird Live: DVD review
As always, she comes across as a heightened, chummy Everywoman, and while not banging the drum of feminism quite so blatantly as some of her contemporaries, uses that liveability to smuggle in some astute points about pernicious women's magazines and Kate Moss's assertion that 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. For any woman - or any man - who knows that's bullshit, Millican's the comic for you.
