Sarah Keyworth

Having already been a Funny Women runner-up, 2018 saw Sarah take her debut hour, Dark Horse, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 

A thoughtful and hilarious meditation on gender, girlhood and the challenges of growing up different, the show was a huge critical hit, receiving four and five star reviews from The Herald, Telegraph, Scotsman and many more. The show also received a Herald Angel Award, a Pleasance Theatre Award and a nomination for Best Newcomer in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.

After their run, Sarah took Dark Horse on tour around the UK (including a sold-out run at Soho Theatre) and then to Australia, where they were invited to perform the show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, again to widespread critical acclaim. While in Australia, they also performed stand-up on ABC as part of the prestigious Melbourne Comedy Festival Opening Night Gala.

Sarah's second Edinburgh show, Pacific, was also a huge hit with audiences and critics alike, selling out its entire run and receiving 4 star reviews from The Times, The Scotsman, The Herald and many more.

Sarah’s broadcasting career is also firmly on the up; appearing on Comedy Central UK’s Roast Battle, ITV2’S Stand Up Sketch Show, performing stand-up on BBC Radio 4 institution The Now Show, and they have a number of their own TV and audio ideas in development with a range of production companies and broadcasters.
