Why Is Somebody Asleep In My Audience? I'll Explain! | Sarah Millican

[@FishFreddy]

Sarah always has such an amazing interaction with the audience. And always professional with everybody around her. She is absolutely the Queen of Comedy.

[@timfriday9106]

she seeing anyone atm? =P lol

[@ddjr6673]

@@timfriday9106 she’s married to fellow comedian Gary Delaney.

[@stopsthismadness9924]

Definitely FreddyFish. She's brilliant.

[@DaisyA-04]

Would be amazing to see her live!

[@KD-wz8tp]

I do just love her! She’s such a natural with working the audience. 🤍😂

[@kevinbartram5302]

I love the way Sarah seems to make friends with her whole audience. That is her talent in her brilliant shows.

Except the ones that are asleep

[@elizabethbath5080]

My husband and I came to see you a couple of years ago and through the interval I became unwell. You were so kind and so gracious towards me at the time and I will never forget the kindness you showed me ❤ Thank you flower 🌸

I've been the sleeper many times at the theatre, I'm narcoleptic. Dark theatre it just gets the nap juices going. I no longer accept any invitations for classical music performances, for me it always turns into an expensive nap 😄. I have to laugh about it otherwise I'd just cry but I always feel quite guilty I love stand up and the theatre in general.

[@castellonkaren61]

For a narcoleptic to fall asleep during a performance is a complement to how stimulating it was.

[@injunsun]

Oh, @Rachelle K, you're all good. You can always watch later at home, well lit, and laugh your assets off, as we all do. Be well.

[@Victoriomantic]

As a fellow narcoleptic, I feel you!

[@lorettasmith9730]

As a fellow narcoleptic, i said that

[@thebestwillow]

Some theatres do performances that are "family friendly" or "special needs friendly" in which they don't dim the lights. Perhaps you could enjoy theatre without napping that way. I love theatre too. To be in your situation, it must suck.

[@ashstubbings2603]

The thing about you Sarah, is that not only are you hilariously funny, you're also a lovely genuine Geordie lass! 😊

[@humandoodad]

I appreciate the 1st (Green Shirt) volunteer's commitment to the bit. The "ah there was a loud noise-- not enough to bother waking up but I'll just yawn and shift a bit" acting was excellent.

[@nomdeplume2213]

DONT SEND HER BACK!!! haha i love Kates families sense of humor

[@lorirose3765]

She needs a Netflix special and a HBO SPECIAL. She is the funniest comedian I’ve ever heard.

[@vtpoet5300]

Excellent. I had spotted the sleeper (real one) but the staged sleeper generated so much affection in me towards Sarah I was surprised myself. 😉👍👍👍👍

[@kerrievans8263]

If I ever get to see you in person I SWEAR to stay awake!

[@kaia8167]

I always wondered about that 'Sarah asleep in her own audience' gag. So great to have the behind-the-scenes story at last. And that bit at the end about you being the same person? FUCKING GOLD. LOL.

[@jeaneltawil]

I haven't laughed that hard in ages. This is a brilliant series of things getting worse while getting better! Loved it

[@1998LegoFreak]

Absolute class act and a genius way of incorporating the OG sleeper into every show since 😂

[@troylindsey1529]

Sarah is one of those rare performers that can mesmerize an audience just by being herself. Its only a matter of time before she's selling out tours stateside and I can't wait to see her live! 🥳

[@rossi6113]

SUCH control over an audience. Brilliantly funny as ever xx

[@bigreddallas2742]

Whenever my pain level from disabilities gets hard to handle, l watch one of your videos or several shorts and laugh through it. Thank you, Sarah! You are a fuckin' gem!!!😅

[@stevencgr]

I love it when comedians do silly stuff like this for their specials, it makes the special/dvd/whatever it's own thing, rather than just cameras in a theatre, which will never been a true representation of what it was like live, make it it's own thing.

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

I'm so glad Kate got to sit up front and be "the laugher" even if she couldn't deliver the goods! Great video, thanks, Sarah.

[@valuk9706]

How tedious must it have been to direct "wobbly lady"!!!! So hilarious. Can't wait to see you this year, at long last! My tickets are going mouldy, I bought them such a long time ago!!!! I won't be sleeping on the night, I've waited too long to see you. In the words of Tina Turner, you really are "simply the best". Love you girl. XXxxXX

[@MrAdomus]

One of the best comedians to ever live! Her quick wit and keen observation are second to none!

[@jeremyphillips7827]

Ah ha! Now it makes sense. Your last DVD was the first one I saw, and I remember seeing you "asleep" in the audience and thinking, WTF? It was so random, but it was hilarious. I've watched all of your DVDs since and loved every minute of them. I think my favorite bit was the story you told about the poem from your ex-husband. It was so touching. Looking forward to your next DVD. ❤

[@MsAliTop]

I went to see Alan Carr and heard a woman talking about the last time she was in the same place, she was at Sarah Millican and she was a nurse coming from a 12 hour shift but didn't want to have a kip in case she missed it and ended up sleeping through it. I think she made it on to the DVD. I loved hearing that x

Sarah is absolutly BRILLIANT!!!! Not only is she a great comedian but, it's really great when she gets in on the audience to pick on or gets them to to interact with something. Either way she is extremely well entertaining & in her own way causes absolute HAVOC!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍😉

[@Si1983h]

Hahaha, this is superb, especially the end… Sarah, you’re a true gift to comedy.x

[@banquo3336]

This is hilarious and adorable at the same time.

[@camillecali2]

Dont feel bad. I fell asleep when I went to a midnight show of Star Wars on a date. I was snoring. I was just so tired after a long week of work. You are funny. I watch you when I can't sleep. Okay that sounds like you put me to sleep. You don't I just like to laugh when I can't sleep. Thanks for keeping me company in the wee hours.

[@nigelbond4056]

Absolutely brilliant! A true comedy genius with an immense warmth. Love her humour so much 🤣

[@maddietaylor3956]

This makes me miss your daily readings of 'How To Be Champion'. 💖

[@davidsandri3043]

This was hilarious! Only problem - we watched it during supper, and we got to laughing so much we had to stop eating for a bit!

[@graveeking]

Oh that is brilliant - this is the sort of thing that would make me want to go see you live! I'd never want to be that one audiance member laughing, but pretending to be asleep along with an entire crowd is an absolutely wild gag. You've literally written your own comedic story to tell at future events and it's just so glory as it keeps going! It'll be bloody hard to top! But a comedic genius like you will probably give something fun to wind up and tease audiance with in future - great show!

[@tomwilliamson1517]

I can’t believe I never noticed this but having watched this I’ve laughed so hard my stomach aches

[@copycat21c]

What an utter treasure you are, Ms Millican. ❤️

Sarah that was freaking hilarious, I laughed SO HARD at these DVD outtakes... oh it was awesome THANK YOU!! I love your shows and I wish you could come to the US !!!! I always wondered why people would sleep in your shows...

[@BanksyStyleLive]

this is the first time i have seen anything you have done Sarah and you seem so lovely, i am amazed that at the end of every show your audience don't want to run up to you and give you a big hug hope to see more of your work in the future ;-)

[@raym4n39]

Probably the nicest and most funniest comedian ever ❤️ love your shows always brightens my day thank you for the pick me up

[@BentleyGadget]

That's hilarious! I've never seen the sleepers, because I fall asleep to Sarah. She relaxes me and I drift off to la la land.

[@injunsun]

Oh, SARAH, I could so easily have been your laugher, fanning myself, tears and all. I actually do that at home, whenever I watch your shows. You've brought me so much needed relied from life. Thank and bless you, luv.

[@carolgodber2830]

Love your sense of humour, the video you did of people asleep during your shows are epic! Thank you.

[@frankedgar6694]

Feb 23 and I’m just now watching. When I was an undergrad, I worked 6 days per week, about 50 hours and took 3 university classes. I was always exhausted. That being said, I do t think I’d sleep during these hilarious videos. I did however go to sleep during a Dallas Cowboys game during that time. Got my picture in the company magazine for sleeping during the game in the stadium and wasting the companies money that they’d paid for the ticket.

[@audradecker1437]

Sarah, you are so lovely, playful, and very entertaining! Thank you for bringing laughter into our homes and hearts.

Pulling it off? In the audience? I don't think they'd allow that on the DVD extras.
