Summary

Sara Barron is a relentlessly honest and desperately funny comic, relating brutal and sometimes filthy truths in a warm and welcoming way. We talk about how her background in the storytelling organisation "The Moth" showcases her innate skill with story structure, and cover starting comedy late, starting comedy twice, and why the audacity to admit your book might suck is a powerful weapon...

0:00.0	Are there any words more guaranteed to strike terror into people's hearts than climate comedy?
0:04.6	Well, I thought so, and then I took my show Spoilers to the Edinburgh Festival and everyone bloody loved it,
0:09.7	including Brian Eno, if you can believe that. You can see it at the Soho Theatre from the 29th of November for four nights get your tickets at Stuart Goldsmith.com. Hello and welcome to the show I'm Stuart Goldsmith and if I sound strange today
0:38.0	it's because I'm talking to a box full of foam in a tiny airless
0:40.7	lightless room this is just another step towards the dream of having my own
0:47.0	tiny and ideally portable recording studio that would allow me to smash through these blurbs in a matter of moments.
0:53.0	I'm currently trying to build something in a little cupboard under the stairs, but nothing's ever easy.
0:58.5	This is Sarah Barron in an episode recorded during the Edinburgh Festival this year, Sarah I think was the second or third show I saw at Edinburgh and really got my festival off to such an exciting start.
1:09.0	Brilliant to see someone who I'd never seen before. She's been in the UK for a few years now, but she is an American
1:17.0	lady and is completely just such a different voice. You know that feeling when you see someone and go,

1:37.0	And as I think I mentioned to her in this episode, there were people of all ages doubled over and clutching their friends. It was a really exciting, very, very
1:45.8	funny show, so I'm very pleased for you to make her acquaintance. Thanks for the show.
1:55.0	Oh my God, I loved it.
1:59.0	I loved it.
2:00.0	What I'm used to at this festival is seeing people who I've never seen before and they're newer
2:05.9	because I've often seen people unless they're kind of an import from somewhere that I'm
2:10.0	a whole I've never seen this person. Most of the people that I've been recommending to people are new and exciting and you know
2:18.3	90% formed or still having ideas and stuff. It was such a joy to see someone completely new to me
