Biography
"Her timing is split-second perfect and her content the kind of intelligent humor you only dream of encountering" - The Herald UK
Australian stand-up Sarah Kendall has established herself as one of the hottest talents on the international comedy circuit. Since bursting onto the scene at the 2001 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the London based Aussie has performed at many of the world's leading comedy festivals- including Montreal, Kilkenny, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Hong Kong. Her work there has helped her win and be nominated for many of the industry's most prestigious stand-up comedy awards.
"A lesson in how comedy should be staged" - The Sunday Times
During the 2002 Edinburgh Festival, Sarah was the only stand-up performer to win the prestigious Herald Angel Award, and the following year she performed sell-out seasons at both the Sydney Opera House, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. After a highly successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Sarah was one of only five acts selected by NBC to perform in their "Edinburgh Nights" season in New York City, followed by a run at The Berlin Comedy Festival and the Stavanger Comedy Festival in Norway.
"This Aussie wizard is pure comedy gold" - The List
In 2004, Sarah cemented her reputation as one of the top comics in the industry by becoming the first woman in nine years to receive a prestigious Perrier Award Nomination. Following her completely sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, she performed in the Perrier season at the Gielgud Theatre in London's West End.
"This is brilliant observational comedy" - The Sunday Times
Sarah's 2006 Edinburgh Festival show ATTENTION SEEKER was nominated for a Time Out London Comedy Award, and in early 2007 Sarah toured the show throughout the UK and Europe- including Barcelona, Madrid, Amsterdam, Milan, Rome, Luxembourg, Brussels and Paris. She returned to the Edinburgh Festival in 2007 with
MY VERY FIRST KIDNAPPING". The show won the Three Weeks Editor's Award for Theatrical Innovation, presenting a darkly comic and true story of college initiation that went horribly wrong.
"A truly brilliant show that's just got to be seen." - Chortle
Sarah most recently appeared in the gloriously silly all-female sketch TV show, BEEHIVE. This E4 series showcased four of the UK's most exciting new comedy writer/performers and their idiotic world.
"She has that X Factor which makes a great comedian" - The Scotsman
