"Hello, I am your scumbag for the evening." Skilful compere Kiri Pritchard-McLean set the tone for this gig with her very first salvo. For comedians used to dodging the heckles and inflatable cocks at stag and hen dos on a Saturday night this new monthly gig must be a delight. It takes place in a private school in Dulwich in a state-of-the-art theatre that puts a lot of Fringe venues to shame. The audience is receptive and polite, though luckily not too polite to laugh in all the right places.
Sara Pascoe is to front a new stand-up series which is about to be recorded.
In The Modern Monkey the award-winning star of Stand Up for the Week; Campus, Live at the Apollo, W1A and Twenty Twelve will be exploring our modern social world through theories of Evolutionary Psychology and more. How does our past influence our modern lives and how come we can still get emotionally hijacked by our primitive emotions?

Well, they do say comedy is all about timing. This shortened version of Sara Pascoe’s last full-length show, just released as part of the BBC’s second Live from the BBC series, contains a chunk of material about the ups and downs of life with her boyfriend.
