Promotional card for a podcast with Sarah Kendall.

Today we’re back to 2012 once more, as former Perrier nominee Sarah Kendall returned to the Fringe after a five-year absence.

“Get Up, Stand Up” (or is it “Get Up, Stand-Up”, how delightfully interpretive) takes on a more storytelling approach than a bang-bang-jokes routine, and Kendall’s acting chops were brought to the fore in an hour of pitch-perfect raccanteuring, reflecting on motherhood, the world that her daughter was growing up in, all wrapped up by the tale of the Ugly Duckling.

Her recent work includes the TV show Frayed, which has just finished its second season, and an appearance on the UK version of Taskmaster — so as you’d expect there are countless clips of her discovering a bag of salt.
