Whatever the audience did to me wasn't as bad as what was currently happening to me,

so if they didn't laugh fine, if they threw things fine, if they shouted out fine,

because I was just like crumbled and broken at the time.

We are back with a new episode of Working It Out.

That is the voice of Sarah Milliken, very, very funny, funny comedian from the UK who I've been

watching for years and years and years. A couple quick announcements. I'm in Berkeley, California.

Right now you can come see me at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, which is an amazing,

to Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, Minneapolis, Charlotte Durham, Asheville,

Indianapolis, Dallas, Chicago, at the 7th, the 7th, the 7th, for four weeks, which is amazing.

That's going to be a great one, Los Angeles. The Netflix is a joke festival. I'll be at the theater

at the Ace Hotel. Then London, hopefully, Sarah will come to that. Then Paris, and then Iceland.

Today in the show we have Sarah Milliken. She is a UK comedian who I think is just so darn funny.

I think I first saw her as a panelist on 8 out of 10 cats, which is Jimmy Carr's show that he hosts

who he was a guest in the fall, who I think is a riot. She has five comedy specials of her own,

chatterbox live, thoroughly modern Milliken live, home bird live, outsider live, and her most recent

2018 control enthusiast live. She's so original, she's so unique, she's so naturally funny,

and just a joy to talk to. Enjoy my conversation with the great Sarah Milliken.

you were a day job. You were civil servant. You were married, and then you got divorced,

and then you were like, and now I'm going to do comedy. And then it sort of blew up. Is that,
