Sara 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!

Review: 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.

Stand-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.

Sara 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 2016

Return 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.

Alan 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.
