Sarah Millican is a British stand-up comedian, writer, and presenter who turns the everyday and the awkward into some of the funniest material on the UK circuit. Her warm, self-deprecating style and fearless honesty have made her one of the most distinctive voices in British comedy.
She won the if.comedy Best Newcomer Award at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe for her debut show, Sarah Millican's Not Nice, and returned two years later with a nomination for the main Edinburgh Comedy Award. Since then she's picked up two Chortle Awards, a British Comedy Award, and two BAFTA nominations for The Sarah Millican Television Programme.
Her stand-up tours have taken her across the UK, Ireland, Oceania, and Canada, from Chatterbox, whose 2011 DVD set a sales record for a female comedian, through to Control Enthusiast and her most recent show, Late Bloomer, which ran to over 100 dates. Her bestselling 2017 memoir, How to Be Champion, gave audiences the same unfiltered honesty they know her for on stage.
What makes Sarah's stand-up work is how recognisable it is. She talks about the things everyone thinks but rarely says out loud, relationships, body image, the small daily indignities of being a person, and turns them into material that has whole rooms laughing at themselves. Audiences leave feeling like they've spent an hour with a very funny, very honest friend.
Book Sarah Millican for a stand-up show that's sharp, properly funny, and unmistakably her.
Sarah Millican's stand-up is the kind that has a whole room laughing at the same shared truths, sharp, warm, and completely unfiltered. From Edinburgh Comedy Award recognition to sold-out tours across the UK, Ireland, and beyond, she's built her career on material that connects instantly. She's a great fit for corporate events looking for a genuine stand-up set rather than a host or MC, book her to perform, not to run the room.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
