A truly metropolitan comic, Sabrina George flows from acerbic asides to
deadpan truisms, looping in and out of the absurd. Throughout these deftly choreographed meanders she retains a warm, friendly relationship with her
audience. She loves performing live because "You never know what's going to
happen". A consummate flirt, Sabrina Georges blend of humour and comedic
commentary seduces strangers and welcomes them into her world.
"I love the mixed audiences we get in London. Once, I had a room
full of Bulgarians and their translator. Translated down the rows,
one person laughing after another, thirty seconds of my comedy turned
into five minutes.
Sabrina chooses to focus on her favourite subject - herself! the peculiar
result of a middleclass upbringing that juxtaposed Winnie the Pooh with
Rudolf Steiner. Her comedy heroes are Mae West, Marty Feldman and
Richard Pryor.
An experienced compere, Sabrina has her own club where she runs
comedy nights at the Angel in Islington, London. She also ran Cheeckie Chappies
and Cricketers over one season and, performed on a bill with two other comics
at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Sabrina has just got back from Berlin where she was the second
International Act at the new Blue Monday Comedy Club. She has worked in
London and around England. Yuk Yuks in Canada, Comedy Café in
Amsterdam as well as Atlanta, Georgia and New Orleans in the States.
Sabrina has worked in theatre, film and opera as a designer/director
and slap artiste on productions in London, Sydney, Berlin, France and
New York- where Andy Warhol once interviewed her about her shoes.
In between these interesting bits, she has also supported herself working
as a bouncer in underground clubs in Manhattan, which also turned out
to be a bit interesting. Just in case, she carries three passports but feels
she is genetically Welsh having a fondness for men in rugby shirts with
large moustaches.
