Sarah Roberts: New Thoughts Never Thought Before

Sarah Roberts brings New Thoughts Never Thought Before to London, a new stand-up comedy show by the performer, staged at The Bill Murray. It is a comedy night built around fresh material.

Sarah Roberts performs this new stand-up show, which is still being written and developed. Its material turns the performer's own habits, such as provoking themselves online and scrolling through their own Instagram story, into jokes, and much of it dwells on gloomy subjects treated with humour. The material flags that the show includes references to male comedians and may be potentially triggering for some audiences.

Reviewers have responded well to the performer's comedy. Chortle has praised Sarah Roberts's work, The Scotsman and The List have each awarded four stars, and Rolling Stone included this show among its 12 standouts of the Edinburgh Fringe 2026. Reviews describe the act as a clear, step-by-step account of how stand-up is done and as a development of the form.

The show takes place at The Bill Murray, a venue at 39 Queen's Head Street in London that mainly hosts live comedy, with a programme centred on stand-up shows and comedy performances. It will suit those who enjoy stand-up built around the performer's anxieties and everyday fixations.
