Sarah Millican: Home Bird Live

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.
