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

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 do just love her! She’s such a natural with working the audience. 🤍😂
She needs a Netflix special and a HBO SPECIAL. She is the funniest comedian I’ve ever heard.
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.

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

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.
The thing about you Sarah, is that not only are you hilariously funny, you're also a lovely genuine Geordie lass! 😊
Excellent. I had spotted the sleeper (real one) but the staged sleeper generated so much affection in me towards Sarah I was surprised myself. 😉👍👍👍👍

If I ever get to see you in person I SWEAR to stay awake!
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.
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.
I haven't laughed that hard in ages. This is a brilliant series of things getting worse while getting better! Loved it
DONT SEND HER BACK!!! haha i love Kates families sense of humor
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.
Absolute class act and a genius way of incorporating the OG sleeper into every show since 😂
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! 🥳
My life's goal is now to attend a Sarah Millican comedy show and pretend I'm asleep the whole show. Not sure I could stop myself from laughing and pull it off though.

you might not be the only one with that idea. It would be a good prank on Sarah if quite a few people managed to pull it off!
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!
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
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

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. ❤
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!!!😅
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.
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.
One of the best comedians to ever live! Her quick wit and keen observation are second to none!
I was laughing so hard, my teenager came in to ask if I was okay 😆

They should absolutely do that. The whole theater, including Sarah, asleep. Only one cameraman awake.
I would have the entire audience asleep with only one person awake and laughing their head off (Edit) I wrote that a whole 2 minutes before she said it !!!!

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!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍😉
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.
To be honest, with my track record lately falling asleep at bad spots. Fell asleep at christening, fall asleep after dinner at my mom's a couple of times. So, I might also be one of those that fall asleep at your show.
This is hilarious and adorable at the same time.
That was so fun. I never spotted a sleeper, but now I'll always be looking for one, lol. Thanks for this behind-the-scenes peek.
Absolutely adore the backstage glimpse. You've always been so lovely with your audience. Can't wait to see you on tour!
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.
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!
So funny! I loved this behind-the-scenes look and the chance to see a bit of your off-stage presence. So glad I'm subscribed to this channel since I'll never have the chance to see one of your live shows!
I can’t believe I never noticed this but having watched this I’ve laughed so hard my stomach aches
Absolutely brilliant! A true comedy genius with an immense warmth. Love her humour so much 🤣
What an utter treasure you are, Ms Millican. ❤️
If I was at your show, you would definitely hear my laugh 😃 I once went to a movie and had some random ladies come up to me afterwards and tell me how much they enjoyed my laugh!
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...
Love you Sarah, so funny lol.
Such a blessing you are to the world!!! You are on the top of my bucket list 😍🙌👏👏👏❤️❤️
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 ;-)
This is actually so silly and fun, I love how you always get the audience involved in goofy little things like this :3
It’s brilliant the way Sarah interacts with the audience. Always very funny too on her tours.
Thank you so much for your joy. You truly fill my heart. I noticed the lady during your show and the gentleman as well. So funny.
I had noticed a sleeper in one of your videos but to find out this whole story was hysterical! 🤣
This makes me miss your daily readings of 'How To Be Champion'. 💖
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.
sometimes, I get fed up with Aussie and American culture on KZread, and then KZread drops your content into my feed. You're bloody brilliant Ms Sarah.
Probably the nicest and most funniest comedian ever ❤️ love your shows always brightens my day thank you for the pick me up
Lmao I’m crying laughing on the tube !! Hilarious as always!
You are so fuckin' amazing. You brighten my days. British humour for people that aren't in the UK right now. Thank you.
Just from this clip, my jaw is aching from smiling and laughing.
Immediately searching the tour dates for me n wifey - Sarah so funny 😊
Sarah you're utterly bonkers. That's what I love you pet! Can't wait for your next show
Sarah, you are so lovely, playful, and very entertaining! Thank you for bringing laughter into our homes and hearts.
I noticed too! Glad for the explanation. 😊 Now a request: please post Outsider here on KZread! Or someplace us Americans can stream it please and thank you!
Hilarious! I want to make a trip over just to see her live!

We’re currently finalising the international schedule of Sarah’s tour. You can join her mailing list via her website (sarahmillican.co.uk) to get the latest info. It’s the best way to hear about dates and tickets. #TSM
She is so so funny. I love how she interacts with the audience. Wish she’d make a tour of the US.
Sarah Millican is now doing hypnosis shows and Will Smith is doing slapstick comedy - how times have changed ! 🤤
We just adore this woman! So brilliantly funny!
Love your sense of humour, the video you did of people asleep during your shows are epic! Thank you.
Absolutely wonderful. Love your sense of humor.
This was completely hilarious. "Imagine I'm a kebab" was the cherry on top.
LOVE YOU!!! Easily one of the funniest comedians out there. I have no doubt I'd end up pi$$ing myself if I caught your show live!
Sarah, you are an absolute legend and inspiration. Stay Awesome!
Long live the comedy Queen! A loyal subject from America here.
Absolute comedy gold. I was in tears watching this.
I just listened to How to be Champion and it was wonderful. It made me sad that people said cruel things about you. I think you're beautiful. love from catherine 🇺🇸
In your next DVD - if someone actually does fall asleep - get the audience to quietly get up and start leaving. Then wake the person up to make them think the show is over lol
I wish we had more sunshines like Sarah! ❤
I absolutely love your dvd's and videos here on KZread. Absolutely adore you.
Well bless her heart. ❤️ you are one of the funniest flowers I've had the pleasure to watch make jokes. This just had me rolling
HILARIOUS!! I did see you "sleeping" in the audience and thought it was just to see who noticed. I have also seen the "sleepers" and wondered how they could possibly sleep with you on stage then I figured they had a big night out drinking the night before because that's the only way it made any sense. Now this explains it all! Love you Sarah!

Medical conditions could also be an explanation to falling asleep in public rather than just assuming its alcohol
Asleep or a wake you're brilliant...your humour is enjoyed even as far as here! Love from Uruguay 🇺🇾
As a previous shift worker I've slept in or through many shows and movies. Used to come home from nights, takes kids to movies, get them a choc top and sleep,and snore they say. I've yet to see that movie with the blue people in it, àll tinkly music and butterflies. Never seen it all the way through. I've tried twice.
This young lovely lady is the best of the best of comedy stand ups in my opinion, and she is so funny and a credit to all the other ladies that would like to take up comedy for TV or live stage performances. Sarah is purely belta.
You know it's funny when the joker themselves was in on the joke lol.
loved this little clip so much, laughing my head off, Sarah you keep me smiling, your interaction with the audience, the fact you genuinely look like your enjoying the show as much as everyone else...brilliant. Thank you.
I’ve always loved Sarah and the fact that that Gary Delaney is married to her makes her household the funniest house in the UK. They are both hilarious.
This is hilarious!😂👍 Your own running (sleeping) gag!
You are so incredibly funny with such a fresh and unique comedy style! I love you!!😘
Pleeease come to the States with this tour, Sarah!
Love you so much Sarah. Thanks for the laughs, you're AMAZING!
That is just awesome!! You should keep it up: making the audience play a role. Brilliant!!
I have a friend who is narcoleptic. He can fall asleep in some pretty weird situations. It's funny and mostly harmless.
Typical comedy gold. I love her ability to think outside the box, and on the fly
@Sarah You truly are one of thee funniest, sweetest, most entertaining comedians ever, love watching your shows, I truly do, have them on repeat. Thank you so much for your hard work and all the laughs
Sending you love from across the pond! You are by far my favorite comedian! Thanks for being you!!!
You’re a Gem, Sarah. I hope I get to see you live one day.
Omg you're bloody hilarious! Can't wait to get a chance to see one of your shows! 😂😂😂
Sarah that was brilliant, thanks for the laugh, all the best in your future shows. 😁😁👍👍
You’re the best, Sarah!! So funny and adorable!💕👍🏻
Love you Sarah! I watch your clips and KZread shows over and over. Originally saw you on Graham Norton. You've made me laugh a lot!
This has cheered me right up, Pet! 🤣
I didn't notice because you keep having me wheezing. Sending love from America, love you so much Sarah! ^_^
Great job to Emma! I would have laughed!!!
