Comedian Sarah Roberts brings her debut tour Silkworm to Manchester this April, following a highly-acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe run. Previously seen on the BBC New Comedy Awards, Sarah will take to the stage at Grub in the city centre on Thursday 10 April.
‘What happens when everything you thought you knew about yourself wasn’t true? In ‘Silkworm’, the world’s youngest, smallest, most normal comedian Sarah Roberts is finally committing to the person she’s been told to hate the most: herself. As she enters her 30s, it’s time for Sarah to put to rest all the stories that she’s spun for herself (and everyone else) about who she is. Did she really need double-jaw surgery? Was she Henry VIII in a past life? Why did it take her so long to come out as queer? Is it ok that she kissed a virtual replica of her cousin on The Sims video game? And most importantly, why is no one else as obsessed with Candy Crush as she is? Join Sarah as she combines her shameless, high-status delivery with her unravelling sense of self.’
