Sara Pascoe at artsdepot: a deep dive into the artist's own psyche

Sara Pascoe's life has changed dramatically since she last toured. She now has two children and, as she explains, tends to spend most of her time offstage wiping up vomit and snot and avoiding her husband's enormous trip hazard shoes. A theme is that motherhood and marriage is not quite the fun she hoped it would be.

There are two sides to this show. On the one hand there are everyperson observational jokes about inefficient hotel toasters and sex in one's forties – her spouse's seduction technique is "like an unconfident pitch on Dragon's Den" – but just as you think this is getting a little too predictable she will mention carbon emissions or writer Albert Camus.
