Sarah Millican

Sarah Millican is proof that comedy's best voices often arrive late and fully formed. Starting stand-up in her thirties and winning Edinburgh's Best Newcomer in 2008 takes a particular kind of nerve, and I hear that hard-won honesty in every routine she does. What I value most is her refusal to perform glamour: she talks about ordinary embarrassments in an ordinary accent and somehow makes them universal. Marrying a fellow comedian and writing a memoir only deepened my sense that her life and her material are one continuous, generous conversation. She is, to my mind, the most trustworthy laugh in Britain.
