Her north east accent.
Early-life:
Born Sarah Jane King on May 29, 1975, in South Shields. She was raised in what she describes as a typical working-class household. Married at 22, she hoped to become a playwright. After the sudden collapse of her marriage she attended a performance workshop and discovered a gift for comedy, although she had never attended a comedy club before taking to the stage for the first time. Sarah began touring, quickly building a large following who were impressed with her honest, or very blue, approach.
Career:
Her debut Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, Sarah Millican's Not Nice, won the if.comedy award for Best Newcomer in 2008; she hasn't looked back since. She has appeared as a panellist on 8 Out of 10 Cats, Have I Got News for You, You Have Been Watching and as a performer at The Secret Policeman's Ball 2008 and 4 Stands Up. She was featured in the Manchester edition of Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, broadcast in June 2009, and provided vocal work to the BBC's natural history footage for Walk on the Wild Side. She briefly joined the Loose Women panel in January 2011 and launched her own show, The Sarah Millican Television Programme, in 2012.
Quote:
'It's all very well to be a feminist, but it's nice to know you've got good knockers.'
Trivia:
In 2012 she won £20,000 for charity while appearing in a celebrity edition of Deal or No Deal.
