Sara Pascoe
BBC Two is to broadcast a brand-new stand-up comedy series Funny Festival Live, as part of BBC Comedy’s Festival of Funny this March. Broadcast on five consecutive nights, from Sunday 7 March to Thursday 11 March, each show will feature some of the UK’s top comedy names, and provide a platform for new and emerging talent from across the country.
Sara Pascoe and Richard Ayoade are the guests tonight, with Nick Helm joining Susie Dent in Dictionary Corner.
Travel Woman Pascoe teams up with Jon Richardson and Travel Man Ayoade is paired with Sean Lock.
Asking the questions is Jimmy Carr, who has just been dubbed the UK's funniest comedian in a new survey based on the number of laughs that came from fans watching his show. In the test viewers of his most recent show laughed for a hefty 4 minutes and 46 seconds on average per hour.
Sara Pascoe and Phil Wang are the guests on tonght's editon of The Last Leg.
There was a fuss a while back about the lack of female travel series presenters on mainstream television. Joanna Lumley seemed to be flying a fairly solitary flag, but now here comes Sara Pascoe to pick up the baton with her own series looking at, and trying her hand at “the world’s most endangered jobs”.
Sara Pascoe’s LadsLadsLads marks a change of image and direction. Out goes neutral stage-wear, in comes sparkly top and fishnet tights. The material is less political, more personal, as we hear about the panel show regular's eventful life since breaking up with fellow stand-up John Robins.
Sara Pascoe is a woman of many talents; writer, comedian, actor - there is nothing she can’t turn her hand to which is why she has gone on a journey to discover and learn the most endangered jobs on earth.
Mrs Merton Meets Mrs Merton
Paul Merton used to be married to Caroline Quentin, so her married name would be Mrs Merton.
Caroline Aherne played a character called Mrs Merton.
In real life Caroline Aherne was married to Peter Hook so her married name would have been Caroline Hook.
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.
