British Comedy Guide, 16th April 2016Review: Sara Pascoe
Sara Pascoe addresses heavy issues with a lightness of touch that stops her set ever becoming preachy, and her constant self-questioning reassures us that whilst nobody's perfect in an imperfect world, that's no excuse not to try and be a better person.
