The Poem Story | Sarah Millican 

The fact that you can have a sympathetic discussion with your current chap about your ex husband means that your current is superb

Sarah is such a great storyteller. This was a journey lol.

"which is hard for me to understand, given the fact that I am awesome." This is fantastic. I shall shamelessly (and ironically, given the video) steal this to characterize how I feel about my spouse leaving me after 15 years.

Just a girl, standing in front of a crowd, talking about her loss, love and life. And whilst we’re there let’s talk about the Good and Bad. I love her humour and I think this sketch is a good image of emotional bravery.

How could anyone not love her? She's right, she is awesome! I love everything about her.

That was a moment of the most perfect gentle comedy genius. Wow!

I remember shedding a tear the first time I saw you tell this story, I was so caught up in the sentiment of the the story, but then laughed with tears in my eyes when your dad said you were not allowed Mr. whippy ice cream again. Who else ,can at a comedy show, can make you genuinely cry with a story, then laugh so heartily at the end. Only you Sarah, only you, the real queen of comedy.xxxxxx

This is actually both moving, heart-warming and funny.

She has such a sweet voice, and such a lovely disposition I can listen to her forever.

This stuff is WHY I love Sarah Millican's shows. Really heartfelt and emotive and she's a genuinely funny lass. Also, I love that the wrap screen at the end of all her videos sounds like her answering machine.

Sara I had tears running down my face before you got to the hilarious punch line - I felt your pain in your voice. You are awesome ! Your 1st man was meant to direct you along your life for seven years but not forever. Your Dad and lovely new man have carried on since then and they will love you forever. I hear what you say re: Maggie Thatcher. Not only did she close the pits in the north east of England she also closed the ship yards 6000 men lost there jobs in Swan Hunters shipyard in Wallsend alone. Destroying the lives of the the men and their families as well as the satellite businesses in the Newcastle area. Sheer devastation. Your Dad was right never have Mr Whippy again. Love your shows and love you to Sara - you are awesome!!! I have never laughed so much at a comedian since Billy Connolly. ✨🌟

a very poignant moment, the depth of the loss, life is sweet for a little while, and then you find out Maggs Thatcher help create Mr. Whippy, Bittersweet life is bittersweet, but easier to take when a lovely lady tells you about it. I'm saving all these to my very own Sarah Playlist so when I need a pick-me-up, she'll always be there.

Doesn’t matter how many times I watch/listen to this story I still laugh. 😂

This is sooo much more than just a comedy show. Her storytellingis like poetry slam and always is interresting with a positive messige. I love that about her. It really lifts me up! And you can tell the audience is hanging on her lips....

By the time I got to this moment, I'd already watched a few of her shows. I would say I was a Sarah Millican fan. But this story? Just brilliant. She's a storyteller. She brought me near to tears and then hit me with a laugh, and I could feel that extra bit of joy from the surprise of it. It's a vulnerable moment to share. I'm so glad you did, Sarah.

Extraordinary good comedian, amazed by your talent and hard work, a great example for female comedians

Oh, that was lovely. The tension was building for so long, I wondered if it would pay off.. and it most CERTAINLY did. Steve Martin wrote eloquently about the tension release in comedy in his book "Born Standing Up", but even he could learn something from this brilliantly constructed joke.

Sarah, I initially hunted down your videos because I absolutely LOVE your accent (colonial here). After watched many videos, I have fallen in love with your sense of humor. Thank you for sharing those painful moments in your life and twisting them to make us all laugh.

Standing in line at the store..."oooo new Sarah Millican video"....watch it...then I'm suddenly bent over wheezing with laughter at the end! People in this small town are going to end up thinking I'm insane.🤪😜

Sarah you’re a wonderful story teller,and a truly gifted comedian

I started watching you by accident and now can’t stop , it because you don’t tell jokes you tell your life story and you make even the sad parts funny . Don’t ever stop .

This felt like a Ted Talk.

I'm not crying, but I could use a hug. Thank you for sharing this story.

Sarah, this made me cry and laugh. Your fella sounds like a keeper.

I've watched a lot of your videos since coming across your RU-vid channel yesterday, and I've really enjoyed all of them, but this is my absolute favorite so far. You're a wonderful storyteller. Thank you for sharing all of these videos.

She reminds me of my grandma, funny, intelligent, and a clear mind.

Listen- Everytime I'm feeling down, I'll watch you and immediately I feel so much better. Thank you for that

This lady is the bright spot in these bleak days of corvid 19 & social distancing. Lots of time to listen to ALL her videos & have a chuckle.

"...because I'm awesome." Yes, yes you are!

I was feeling so low. I have Parkinson's and of course there is the Covid-19. A few minutes watching you and all is right. Thank you Ms M. You rock ❤️

One thing I really love more than anything is when a comedian can get a very raw and heartfelt moment. Joan Rivers used to do that when she talked about Edgars death and every time she’s tell it, brought a tear to my eye. And then she’d say something hilarious and it took that pain away.

This is a particularly great example of comic genius, the story builds as does empathy. It's full of pride, poignancy and hilarity. She is so endearing. 👏🤗

😂 "You're not allowed Mr. Whippy anymore"

The poem is still your poem, you used it to lift yourself up, and you can do so again. It’s not your ex’s poem, so he can be wiped from its pleasure. Like ketchup dripped onto your top, off a chip.

It's ten till 4am and you've made me smile. Thank you

I love your dad. Every time he comes up in your show I think: “ that’s a great dad” When you see him tell him that in mine opinion he raised a fantastic daughter. Although he will say that the material was excellent, it will make him happy.

Thank you for baring your soul and still making it funny, Sarah.

As if we couldn't love you any more than we already do, you give a story straight from your heart...and then make us laugh about it just when we are about to shed a tear with you.

Absolute genius. What can I say that hasnt been said already. You are a master story teller and comedy genius. I was totally mesmerized by the story telling part then howled with laughter when you brought in Maggie Thatcher. The world is a richer place because you are in it and I hope one day that I will know the joy of being at one of your shows......you just have to travel to Asia for me to do that lol. xx

The authenticity and relatability in Sarah's comedy will always be one of my favorite things about her.

when I need to relax and cannot sleep I watch Sarah Millican and have a good laugh...works every time

Genuinely brilliant.. Just got to know her comedy.. Her brilliance is not something you come across often This one left me in awe ...

"Given the fact that I am awesome."🤣

I'm not saying you should start hating your ex, but the plagiarism deserves a drunk dial at 3 am, just so he knows you know.

My husband gave me a poem when we were dating and it was so sweet. Nobody had ever written me a poem either. Flash forward a few years, when we have three small children and I’m nearly losing my mind from exhaustion. My husband shows me his old notebook, with dates at the top of each page, and in case I missed the point he tells me he never wrote my poem for me. He wrote it for his ex and he didn’t tell me this because we were fighting or not getting along. He just wanted me to know I wasn’t special.

"because im awesome" i feel very personally quoted :D

Oh I Adore You Sarah , your a National Treasure to England. You are Awesome Pet . Much like most of us are. xo Enjoy your Day Everyone.

Yes! You are AWESOME! 🦋

That was a great story, well told and loved you Dad's response. Take care!

Sarah, life is a bit crap for me at the minute and I'm tired. I watch your videos because you make me belly laugh, sometimes you make me cry laughing, and sometimes your powerful stuff just makes me cry, but you cut through the sadness and your humanity just glows. Thank you. P. S. I can't ever eat a Mr Wippy again, not ever. I'm a Nurse.

I wish could watch this for the first time over and over again. I can't describe it.

When I google at 2am, I'm not looking for poetry...

Yes Sarah, that is pretty confusing when someone just stops loving you.......pretty crushing to be honest.

My vocabulary has changed from this channel: Gave it a "woo" from here in froont o' me telly. What a loovely and friendly person, and with a woonderful UK accent as well. Feel like I could come over and have tea. Thanks from the other side of the world in Seattle, where at least our weather is kind of similar, isn't it then? If ya roon outta stories, luv, you're gonna hafta make 'em up. We're depending on ya now, you, yer fella and your da. Thoombs up and keep 'em coomin'. Totally champion, pet.

I love your sense of humor and your attitude toward life. Sarah you bring a huge smile to me

I would love to hear an audiobook with Sarah, love her work, she's amazing ❤

Sarah does not disappoint.

"It's hard for me to understand, given the fact that I'm awesome" : yep, I feel the same way xD I became too picky for this world after too many bad/not adequate/immature persons...I hear you!

Storytelling is the foundation of any comedian👍Gorblesher girl!

That was such an intimate piece of comedy. Collectively, we love you more than enough to fill the hole of the love he lost for you.

I'm a bit late here but I've been binging your videos in the background while I draw. This story is really touching! You have some great men in your life and it's lovely.

What an amazing storyteller!

AWESOME, YES YOU ARE!!!! Don't you ever forget it!!

A charming story and yes, you are awesome. I hope you do get your very own poem one day.

Yes Sarah. Your awesome.

Comedians can be incredibly brilliant-often looking at life with such interesting perspectives. Loved this. I can see Sarah doing a Ted talk.

'Awesome', and you are. Be happy and put your Ex well behind you because he is only your shadow.

You are a breath of fresh air! Love your confidence and delivery!

You are the best story teller ever and a great comedian as well💕

You are very Awesome...and I love that you speak your mind, like I do, as long as you are Kind to everyone even the not so kind....I love the way mean people get so angry when you are nice to them...Have a Lovely day, Hugs

Sarah, you have a delightful eloquence that stands out every time I hear your performances, but is particularly poignant here. Thank you so much for the work you've done, and continue to do. I wish you all the best.

Thank you Ms Millican.

One of my favorite stories from her!!! :)

Wow, what a wonderful segment. Not what one expects from a typical standup comedian. You're so incredibly well-spoken. Not typical, at all, I'd say...

Excellent story!!

I couldn't sleep. It's 02:32. Then found this and laughed, at myself. Thanks Sarah.

3:54 Yes You Are Sarah 😍🤗

Yo love when she uploads! I know I’m gonna laugh, and that’s a nice feeling

Sarah described herself in one word 'Awesome'. I would Agree and add Awe-Inspiring¥

Sarah, you ARE awesome!!!

Sarah is such an amazing storyteller. Seamless pacing and delivery.

I’m now concerned my ex mans poem that he wrote me will be all over the internet... still, that story is funny and now I know better than to look it up 😂😅

You really are awesome!

I went to like this and apparently I already had a while ago. This always helps me feel better when I get sad about my divorce. Thanks, Sarah, for always making me laugh :D

This was really sweet. Believing in someone only to be let down by them, is hard... but then how you allow them to stay human in your mind, says a lot about you. To those like us, cheers!🥂

who in their right mind falls out of love with Sarah....hmm 🤔

Sarah you are by far the funniest thing on utube.. and I watch 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. Thanks for the post.

Just love this lass xxx

Hilarious as usual, the lovely Sarah Millican helps keep my spirits up and have a laugh in these challenging times

I am truly grateful your video showed up in my feed last week! I love your personality & it feels so good to be able to laugh again. I've lost 25 loved ones, including my Brother, 102 yr old Grandmother & my Sister - in-law. Thank You for being who you are 🙏🏻

You are. You ARE awesome! Love your mind, love your comedy. Lovely person.

I don't think you lost your poem, a person found it, read it and thought of you. You may not have been the inspiration behind the poem but you were the one he gave it to

This is one of my favorite story. I love sarah

You always make me smile, Sarah. I really should have seen you live by now, I've seen your fella a couple of times! Makes me happy knowing you two are together - I bet you have the same fits of giggles that I have with my wife. And yes, you are awesome, that bit made me happy to hear. 💗

Agreed, Sarah Millican is awesome!

Brilliant story telling !!

God I love your shows, comedic genius, you bring a smile and laughter to any day I'm not feeling my best. Keep up the good work, you are brilliant Sarah, from Danielle, massive Aussie fan.

Thank you for the laughs yet again! ❤😁👏👏👏👏👏

I love you Sarah Millican. You are the best story teller and so funny and witty! I've seen all of your shows on RU-vid. Twice.

TOTALLY awesome Sarah! Thank you for the laughs 😃 ❤
