Sarah is an up and coming talent – since the BAFTA win in 2020, she has gone on to appear on Channel 4’s The Last Leg discussing invisible disabilities, has written for Have I Got News For You, had her own comedy sketch commissioned by Channel 4 and is in talks with a number of production companies, both about developing her scripted
projects and pitching Sarah as on-screen talent for disabilities projects.
When Edinburgh 2020 was cancelled, Sarah developed her planned Edinburgh show into a TV script during lockdown, going on to win the award in the year it had a record number of applicants. It certainly made the months spent in lockdown with her Mum and Dad, and the isolation weight gain, seem a bit more worth it!)

Chemo Chat Show on YouTube featured guests including Phil Wang and Harriet Kelsey.
As an actress Sarah has City Lit training and performs her own sketches across social media, as well as professional gigs including playing Alice, the neighbour of a dominatrix sex worker in Miranda Kane’s sitcom Slaving Away.

She has had an open letter to Boris Johnson published by Macmillan Cancer Support about staff shortages in the NHS. And on Instagram, Sarah is busy
