We knew nothing about Sarah & took a chance on this show!
It was absolutely brilliant! Her voice is outstanding !!!
She was hilarious! Super talented, so funny, the songs were absolutely brilliant and will Definitely be going back to see her next year at the fringe! I only wish this wasn't Sarah's last show so I could recommend her to everyone !!
She got a standing ovation at the end of the show and that pretty much summed it up !! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Prior to going to the show, I asked on Twitter/X for show recommendations and one of the replys was from Sarah so I took a chance and went to see her.
SO GLAD I DID! Fantabulous show, Sarah is an excellent performer with an amazing voice with some songs and lyrics that I won't forget anytime soon! ( read the other reviews for why!).
Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved Sarah! Brilliant songs and an amazing singing voice, she really is a captivating performer and you will not be disappointed! Laughed a lot and the songs are still stuck in my head this morning. Go and see her before she gets HUGE and the tickets are a zillion pounds.

What an amazing show! My friend is a fan, but I had no clue what to expect...now I'm a fan too! Sarah is the best type of feminist, showing you don't have to hate men to celebrate how incredible women are! A very intelligently produced show, blending wit & irony with incredible singing & performance. & to top it off, she's a thoroughly nice person who took the time to speak to everyone in the bar afterwards! Thoroughly recommend going to see this show & will defo look out for her coming back next year!

I was recommended by a friend to see this show and WOW Sarah did not disappoint. She was hilarious and her songs were brilliant, 'I'm Serving Cvnt' is still stuck in my head! The issues she talks about and her opinions really resonated with me and did I mention she has a KILLER singing voice!? I even got the chance to meet her after the show and she was just the loveliest person! I highly recommend you go and see her show and Sarah please come back next year!

Great show. If preachers at church were all like this I would go every week. I can’t decide if my theme song is “I don’t wanna have babies” or “I love to say c**t”.

Okay, TBH, I've been a HUGE fan for a while, but I've never had the chance to see this queen live. OMG!!!! She does NOT disappoint!!! I've been coming to the Ed Fringe for decades and even managed venues. Sarah has amazing talent, a gorgeous voice, clever songs; the show is cabaret and risque comedy combined. The fact that it's in a church made it all the better. Run to see this show!!!

A fantastic show, serving from start to finish!
A show boasting female rage and empowerment, with crowd work and stand up elements that left the room howling with laughter. *****

A truly incredible jaw dropping comedy show! I walked in not knowing who Sarah was, and I was astounded by their talent. Perfect afternoon show.

Emily Carding 29 days ago

Gotta say, Emily Jillette is correct! Loved this fierce, feminist, joyful, wild, hilarious and powerful show. Fabulous comedy songs followed by the call of the wild which is Savage Daughter...highly recommended!

Hey, if people could review reviewers, I would have five stars. I know a great show when I see one. And this show is amazing. Wait, did I just make this review about me? Listen, I’m also serving Cunt. Sarah Hester Ross is a force of nature, a musical genius and, a comedienne extraordinaire. You should anchor your day’s shows around this one. Well done, SHR!

Sarah Hester Ross is the real deal. Amazing musical comedy from start to finish and she can really wail up there. If you can't choose between a comedy show and an amazing concert, just buy a ticket to Sarah Hester Ross and she'll have you covered both ways.

Straight from the start Sarah had the audience in laughter. Sarah’s show is a fantastic mix of musical abilities and comedy fused into one. Best hour I have spent laughing. So much so I’ve booked to see the show again

Spectacular, in every sense of the word. I've never been to a Las Vegas show, but I imagine this what the best are like. Funny, pointed, and a hell of a good time. Oh - and the songs are all just good music in their own right. Go see this show while you can.

Danica Jackson 33 days ago

This show is brilliant! Sarah is absolutely hysterical, with a stunning and powerful voice. Be prepared for hilarious audience interaction, and video evidence to back up just how painful the truth can be! (Also be prepared to drop some money on merch... you're going to want these shirts!) Highly recommend, one of the best shows of the Fringe!!

I laughed, sang along, felt empowered and understood, cried, and laughed again. Sara's show is a true masterpiece—meticulously crafted, brimming with witty humor and memorable songs.

Watching Sara perform “Savage Daughter” live was just a dream come true for me!

Sarah Hester Ross Is What? Is an excellent musical comedy show. None stop laughs from start to finish. It's a show I would definitely recommend and one I will be seeing again.

It's 2 in the afternoon in Edinburgh but it's 6am on The Strip (which means the party is just getting started) Vegas has come to Fringe! What a glittering one-woman chorus line. Sarah is in line to be the next capital D Diva. It's giving Barbara but ginger, Bette Midler but in no way mid, Liza without the whole mom thing. You, unlike me, are probably cultured and already know Sarah but I walked in blind and blinded by delight.
