Sarah Millican Chatterbox (Live) [DVD] [2011]

Having been a fan of Sarah Millican since the first series of her hilarious radio show 'Sarah Millican's Support Group', I was anticipating her first live DVD but fearful that it may not live up to expectations. Well as soon as I popped this DVD in the player, all that was forgotten. Millican is such an endearing character that her comedy is just like a friend gossiping with you, she's bright, warm and unashamedly rude - what more could you want? There's something for everyone here (just not the kids or any easily shocked/embarrassed family members!) as she lampoons subjects like living alone, divorce, cake and why you should never let your boyfriend near Claire's Accessories! Me and my partner were teary-eyed from laughing so much in the end, what a fantastic way to spend a spare hour and a half - infact every spare hour and a half should be spent watching this!The bonus features are pretty nice too, there's a twelve minute interview, a short featurette on her divorce tips, a rare radio short and her Royal Variety performance which is mostly the same as some of the gags in the main show, but is still lovely to have on disc.Here's hoping a DVD of her current tour 'Thoroughly Modern Millican' is on it's way!

Watched this last night with my hubby - thinking he'd probably not enjoy it as much as me. How wrong I was! We both thoroughly enjoyed the show and only wish we'd been lucky enough to obtain tickets when Sarah visited our local theatre in Southend last year. Alas, we were too late to get tickets, even though we tried the day they went on sale - a good indication of Sarah's much-deserved popularity! Yes, there are a lot more rude words and adult humour than we've seen of her on TV, but we're grown ups and let's face it, the DVD is given an adult rating (15), isn't it? We loved the interaction between Sarah and the audience and although some of the material is stuff we may have seen on TV, it was refreshed by a slightly different delivery. We will definitely be recommending this show to our friends and family (the more broadminded ones maybe!) and will look forward to seeing Sarah in person at one of her live shows soon, I hope! In the meantime, I know I have a pick-me-up DVD to watch whenever I need cheering up. Sarah Millican is one of a kind and a breath of fresh air. Well done - you are terrific and we can't rate your shows highly enough.

Very funny

I'm jumping the gun a bit on this review I know as the thing's not even out until NEXT December but be assured it wont matter. Sarah is one of the funniest and most down to earth comedians on any circuit anywhere. She has a real knack for balancing the ordinary with the extremely well observed humour hidden within the ordinary. And lads, please don't be put off because she's a girl. Buy this and you wont be dissapointed. There's something here for everyone. I've pre-ordered mine and will use the interim months before its release attempting to build a time machine in an effort to get hold of it earlier than the rest of you. So there!

Overall enjoyed the comedy. As Sarah herself points out early in the show her comedy is a tad more lewd on the DVD/show than you would have expected from her TV appearances. That said, comedy is all about stretching/exploring the moral envelope (cf. Frankie Boyle). Probably wouldn't lend the DVD to my Mum, M-I-L, more genteel lady friends, but it's all fairly harmless in the long line of British comedy that references Frankie Howerd and Kenneth Williams. I found the device Sarah used for observational humour to ask the audience members questions starting to irritate after a while, but that's a personal preference.Buying experience - very efficient close to Christmas.

I bought this for my wife as we were unable to get tickets to see her live, so it was the next best thing. This was a very funny session, good length DVD with some funny extras. Well worth the price, a snip against live show but then again, I would imagine her show is brilliant. Would recommend, beware the language is quite blue, She certainly lets rip from what you might ordinarily expect, but it was none the less very very funny and we had an enjoyable couple of hours entertainment.

Having seen Sarah Millican on the daytime programme Loose Women, I thought it would be good to see one of her live performances.Although I enjoyed the DVD it was not what I expected it to be. As with nearly all live performances , Comedians feel the need to be more adventurous , shall we say. If you have been to one of her live gigs, then you will know what I mean. I have only rated this as a four star.

Love Sarah Millican, definately my sense of humour. Bought the CD for a workmate, who I don't really know all that well, however thought it would be a safe bet after seeing her on the television, as she is so adorable.However she does start off, saying this is ruder than on the tele, and it is!So enjoyed the CD, but had to buy workmate another gift incase she was offended!Still love Sarah Millican though, what a joy she is!
