Sarah Keyworth

Sarah Keyworth is back with a brand new, joyous show about family, acceptance and a pair of big (well, not super big) losses. This show has recently become the Winner of the Most Outstanding Show at The Melbourne Comedy Festival 2024.

It’s been a big year for Keys (aka Sarah Keyworth). Sure, they turned thirty, got diagnosed with ADHD and had top surgery, but perhaps the biggest adjustment is to the revelation that maybe their mum was right all along? Not about everything obviously, but they must concede that on teen drinking and being “forced” to go on holiday, Keyworth Sr probably had some solid points.

On their choice to have surgery, Keys feels lucky in a lot of ways, especially when it comes to the people they have around them.  That said, it was a long road and there’s still conversations to be had about their gender identity and what this means in a world that seems increasingly hard on gender non-conforming people.

But as Sarah goes home for the first time post-surgery, to celebrate their mum’s own milestone birthday, it’s the conversations with their nearest and dearest that have them reflecting on their year and asking some big questions. What does acceptance look like? From whom does it matter? Is it OK to dance around your family kitchen with your new nipples out?

As seen on Live at the Apollo (BBC Two), Mock the Week (BBC Two) and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4)
