Chicago-born Sara Barron first found fame in her home country of America after hosting the hit US storytelling show ‘The Moth’. When she moved here to London, she quickly rose through the ranks to become an award-nominated comedian right here in the UK.
Sara has been nominated for the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award and a Chortle Award, and her powerhouse stand up shows are a testament to her rising star status.
Sara first tried stand up at the age of 22 when she was living in New York City but says she suffered from horrible anxiety and eventually gave up.
Since debuting at the Edinburgh Festival, Sara has continued to pummel the live circuit with her shows ‘For Worse’ and ‘Enemies Closer’, selling out at both the Edinburgh Festival and London’s Soho Theatre. Rave reviews from The Times, The Guardian and The Independent have secured her spot as one of the best comedians of her generation.
With her hot takes on living in the UK as an American and poking fun at the saccharine positivity of her US peers, Sara Barron is definitely one to see at Comedy Carnival in London.
Sara Barron – Comedian something.
Sara’s no-holds-barred comedy isn’t just for the stand up circuit – she’s appeared on ‘8 Out of 10 Cats’, ‘Would I Lie To You?’, and Frankie Boyle’s ‘New World Order’ much to the delight of fans of her self-aware comedy. Exploring the ins and outs of relationships and the often hilarious escapades of living in the UK as an American, Sara’s quick wit and relatable comedy style have audiences hanging on her every word, as well as empathising with her experiences.
Thrilling comedy fans up and down the country, Sara has received 5-star reviews of her brassy, no-nonsense shows, striking a chord with audiences as she comes across as friendly as she is cynical. Receiving comparisons to the legendary Joan Rivers, Sara’s brand of mean comedy is as entertaining as it is confronting.
