Confessions of a Paralysed Porn Star
C3

****

2 baby girls born in Sidcup, Kent, on the same day. Both called Sarah Louise Young.  One grows up to be a porn star. The other grows up to be … a cross between Bridget Jones and Delta Goodrem, with a rapier wit and one of the best voices I’ve heard live this festival. Sarah takes a self-deprecating look at her own life whilst comparing it throughout the show with the life of Porno Sarah, intertwined with jokes about dophiles, junkies and the Platinum Rampant Rabbit. Her songs were hilarious, powerful rants, my particular favourite being one about an angst-ridden 10 year old Sarah bewailing the special attention people with one limb receive. She manages to pull off unapologetic comedy about taboo subjects in a brazen manner, which I have rarely seen from a female comedy act at the festival before.
