Comedy
Sarah made the Top 10 in CBC Comedy’s 2019 Next Up amateur comedy competition. She is the founder of a satirical veterinary online newspaper called The Cageliner. It’s like The Onion, but for veterinary peeps, but you can read it too if you want. She is 2023 graduate of the Humber College Comedy Performance and Writing Program. She is the 2023 recipient of the Tim Sims Encouragement Fund Award, which recognizes and supports promising comedic performers in the early stages of their careers, as well as the Award for Academic Excellence from Humber College. She is a regular on YukYuks Rising Stars in Toronto and has performed in at the Hillside Folk Festival and Guelph Comedy Festival. Sarah is thrilled to be represented by Oldfield Management. To bring together her love for comedy and medicine, Sarah has started a podcast called Comedicine, where is talks to other healthcare professionals (human and animal) who are also comedians.
Sarah loves doing stand up comedy everywhere, including for veterinarians and other health care professionals and would be happy to talk to you about performing at your event.
