Dark Horse
Sarah Keyworth’s ‘Dark Horse’ won critical acclaim and sold out crowds from early in the festival. The show focused on self-acceptance and the Nottingham-born comic’s struggles growing up not conforming to gender stereotypes. It was an impressive debut, with intelligent comments, personal anecdotes and a high-joke rate.
