Sara Pascoe is a comedian and writer who has appeared on programmes including QI, Taskmaster and the Great British Sewing Bee. She is also a screenwriter and the author of three books including her debut novel Weirdo which won the inaugural Jilly Cooper Prize for fiction last year. Sara was born in Dagenham and grew up in Romford. She joined a drama club when she was 14 and set her heart on an acting career but failed to get a place at drama school. She read English Literature at the University of Sussex and after graduating took on various jobs to make ends meet including a stint as a London tour bus guide. In 2007 she performed her first comedy gig to an audience of 12 people in a south London pub. Even though no-one laughed at her jokes, she was well and truly bitten by the stand-up bug and the following year was joint runner-up at the Funny Women Awards. In 2010 she performed her first show at the Edinburgh Festival and appeared on the BBC’s Live at the Apollo two years later. She is currently touring her latest stand-up tour, I Am A Strange Gloop. Sara lives in London with her husband Steen Raskopoulos and their two children.

Our first serving of soup on Dish. Sara Pascoe is a comedian, actor, presenter and writer who loves soup with her entire being. Time, then, for Angela to dust off the ladle and serve Sara the best minestrone , using a recipe from Martha Collison. But will it win round Nick, who cannot shake the association of soups and smelly office kitchens? We’re joined by Sara to discuss her new show, Zero Stars, coming to TLC from mid-April. In Zero Stars, Sara and her pal Roisin Conaty travel around the world to visit places and activities with bad reviews and terrible ratings. You can also see Sara on Mock The Week, which, after a three year absence, has returned to TV on TLC. At the table, we hear about Sara’s love of performing, stand-up and... Take That, a band who, like soup, are essential parts of the Pascoe lifestyle. Just don’t make her choose between them. The wine pairing for the minestrone is Waitrose’s Blueprint Gavi but, with a stand-up gig later in the day, Sara is sticking to coffee.. Angela adapts the minestrone recipe to make it vegan, using vegetable stock and vegan cheddar cheese. Soup-erb! You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify. All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for the minestrone soup was created for Waitrose by Martha Collison .

With two young boys, who fight and bite, a dog and a busy career, Sara Pascoe says at the age of 44 she finally knows what stress feels like. She came to motherhood late and conceived via IVF. She thinks talking openly about the process will remove any shame and tells Katherine, in detail, what happened to her and her body. They discuss how an ageist society even extends to the embryos Sara and her husband have on ice. She’s vegan, she exercises and she’s made a stand against cosmetic procedures. She’s hoping her refusal to succumb to surgery and Botox will, in time, be rewarded with an OBE. Nichola applauds Sara for her plant-based diet, and they talk about how best to get protein in your diet when you don’t eat meat.

Content warning: This episode contains themes that some listeners might find upsetting. In this week's episode, Mine and Paul welcome the brilliant comedian, writer, and actor Sara Pascoe. Sara opens up about life with her husband’s ADHD, motherhood, and the mental juggling act of parenting and performing. With her trademark wit and warmth, she explores how comedy offers both refuge and revelation for neurodivergent minds - a place where impulsivity, overthinking, and dopamine-chasing can be channelled into storytelling, humour, and human connection rather than self-criticism.

Welcome back to this How to Fail special, where we revisit powerful moments from the archive that offer insight, perspective and - hopefully - a sense of comfort during life’s more difficult chapters. This week, to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week (9th to 15th October) and Elizabeth’s new role as ambassador for The Miscarriage Association, we're reflecting on two deeply moving conversations that explore miscarriage, fertility struggles and the resilience required to endure them. First, you'll hear from Sara Pascoe, who speaks openly about the heartbreak of miscarriage and the anxiety that followed during her IVF journey and eventual pregnancies. Then we turn to Trinny Woodall, who shares her experience of multiple miscarriages and nine rounds of IVF before the birth of her daughter. Trinny’s story is one of extraordinary strength, persistence and hope. Whether you're personally affected or simply listening with empathy, I hope these stories bring you comfort, connection or a new perspective.

Alex Albon, Sara Pascoe, and Willy Tickle #507 Warning: this podcast is not suitable for listeners of the Scottish persuasion. Listener discretion is advised. Welcome back to the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast. On the first day of his summer break, F1 driver Alex Albon sat down with the team to talk about how the season is going so far, and also revealed that he didn’t know how many gears his car has. Luckily, his boss wasn’t listening. Only joking, his boss was listening, and even messaged in.. Oops! Sara Pascoe took some time out of her busy schedule to join us on the show, sharing some words of advice with Dom ahead of his upcoming set at the Rode Comedy Festival. We’ll have to wait and see if Dom takes any of that advice on board. Place your bets now… Also this week, Willy Tickle met Da Boss. Plus, a listener sent in some traditional Scottish headwear, which obviously meant that everyone had to put it on and do a Scottish accent. Or at least I think that’s what they were doing. But that, dear listener, is not all: We crash the Uber app Dom struggles with technology Adam Brown can’t do radio Enjoy! The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Weekdays 6:30am - 10am

TW: fertility and miscarriage Sara Pascoe is a critically acclaimed comedian, writer and actor. Her latest stand-up tour is called - aptly enough for this podcast - Success and her debut novel, Weirdo, is published tomorrow. It's a dark, funny, stream-of-consciousness narrative ride through the internal machinations of Sophie, an anxious, sometimes obsessive, often unhappy woman trying to feel less lost. I gobbled it up. Sara joins me to talk about failing at acting, why every year she promises herself she'll never do the Edinburgh Fringe again (and every year breaks that promise) and, in a heartbreaking third failure, she talks candidly about failing to get pregnant for over a decade, suffering a miscarriage, doing IVF and eventually having a baby but remaining in a state of high anxiety throughout her pregnancy. It's a beautiful conversation, and I am so grateful to Sara for talking about something that is very difficult to put into words. I know her courageous vulnerability will help so many people. -- Weirdo by Sara Pascoe is out tomorrow. -- I'm going on tour! To AUSTRALIA, mate!
