Overview

In her new one-woman show "Lessons for the Living" Sarah Stewart shares the hilarious and heartfelt lessons she's collected from a lifetime of living and loving. After five years of making audiences laugh as a stand-up comedian, Stewart will be branching into a more vulnerable and authentic story-telling performance with a good dose of humour. The show takes audiences on a journey through the pivotal moments that shaped Stewart into the woman she is today. From the practical (and messy) childhood task of learning how to pluck a chicken to the shame of getting caught shoplifting, Stewart leaves no stone unturned.

This show is being supported by Upstageing and the Capital Arts Patrons Organisation and 2025 MPS-People Security Risk Management Award.
