I was so delighted that Sarah Millican won last years if.comedy newcomers award as he show was excellent, certainly one of my favourites, so was keen to see if this year’s one Typical Woman was up to the high standard set 12 months ago.

It was. In fact it was better!! Much better!!

I was a little surprised at the very predominantly female audience at the show I saw, as I thought given her recent television exposure she would have had a wider male following, but hey ho they are the ones who missed out.

Ms Milligan’s concept is that Typical Woman, or Typical Man are becoming things of the past due to the stereotypes being broken down more as time goes on. She then launches into a whole raft of hilarious, well written material to prove, or otherwise occasionally, her point.

She really had all with her throughout as she entertained non-stop. She interacts well with those chosen few she chats with and is certainly non-threatening in her approach.

I will not attempt to précis any of her stories for two reasons,

1, Sarah is far better at he job than I am, and

2, I wouldn’t want you to miss hearing them first hand if and that is a big if, you can beg, borrow or steal a ticket.

Having won the best newcomer award last year, who would bet against her lifting the main award this year? Certainly not me cause at the time of writing her show is the best I hav seen at Fringe 2009.
