Australian comedian based in London, Sarah Kendall was a guest at Roar with Laughter that I saw at the Hammersmith Apollo and I also saw her at Always Be Comedy in London in 2017.
Kendall’s greatest skill is as a storyteller. Her performances did not provoke belly laughs but had plenty of funny moments. Describing life growing up in Australia and being a mother provided poignant as well as humorous stories.
Kendall made a great guest for Films To Be Buried With Live at The Underbelly Festival in July 2021. Brett Goldstein’s successful podcast featured Kendall talking about films in her life including Jaws and Fatal Attraction with an intelligence, wit, and passion for film.
Kendall played Always Be Comedy in Kennington, and at the new Wandsworth venue in September 2022, November and December 2022. The sets featured a very funny yet awkward conversation with her daughter and the state of her relationship. Kendall was forthright, intelligent, and hilarious.
