Sara Pascoe
Sara Pascoe’s self-penned new comedy is not backwards in coming forwards. As she says at the start,”I am going to destroy your faith in love.” Mrs Brown’s Boys this ain’t, even if she does address the viewer/audience just like the Irish mainstream sitcom. Out Of Her Mind is much better than that. It might just be my favourite sitcom of 2020.

Pascoe stars as Sara, a single thirtysomething whose sister (Fiona Button) is getting married, her best friend (Cariad Lloyd) is pregnant and pretty much everybody else in her age category seems to be hitched up in a relationship.

Comedians Giving Lectures, hosted by Sara Pascoe, is returning to Dave for two brand new series. The UKTV Original series, produced by 12 Yard Productions, was one of the top performing commissions on Dave in 2019 attracting an audience of over half a million.
Sara Pascoe said: "I love hosting the show, mainly to see my peers trying to be clever and failing hilariously."
While the mainstream channels seemed hooked on the ageing panel show template Dave has certainly come up with some innovative vehicles for comedians. Obviously their best one is Taskmaster, but they've also had Hypothetical and Jon Richardson's Ultimate Worrior. And now here's a new format fronted by Sara "can do no wrong" Pascoe.
