Most people aren’t very happy about getting divorced; they see it as a bit of a failure in their life. Something that never quite worked out how they intended, and they’re not prone to advertise the fact that they’re divorced. It’s still a bit of a taboo subject.

This isn’t the case for comedian Sarah Millican however. She not only embraces the fact that she’s divorced; most of her comedy routines are based around the subject

She couples her divorce led routine with a torrent of lewd adult humour, belittling her homely image and softly spoken voice.

My mam does think I’m quite coarse and I don’t think she realises where I get it from, because it’s not from my dad. I get the story-telling side from him, but the rudeness comes from her.

Basically, I look nice and I don’t sound how I look. And there’s another meaning, but you have to see the show to find that out.

Her divorce is a resounding echo of bitterness that’s driven her routines since she started the comedy circuit, and she’s gone from strength to strength.

There are questions that you ask yourself when you split up with someone: “What if no one finds me attractive again? What if I want kids?” Not Nice is what happened, how I got over it and what I want for the future.

Divorce doesn’t have to be the end of a journey, for Sarah it was just the beginning.
