SARAH JOHNSON
Johnson’s amiable nature and saucy, raucous content is delivered in a charming and confident style which is reminiscent of some of Britain’s greatest female comedians. Drawing on her experiences from both the world of entertainment and as a wife and mother, Sarah’s act is a refreshingly candid take on modern life — bold, unfiltered, and utterly relatable.
