Sarah Close

Sarah Close is an experienced script-writer who won a BBC comedy scriptwriting competition in her twenties and went on to develop scripts for Writersroom, working alongside comedy commissioning at the BBC. Sarah has the distinctive ability to see humour in the most challenging of situations. This Did Hurt, her riposte to Adam Kay’s This is Going to Hurt, charts her journey into motherhood in a maternity care system pushed too far. Sarah also co-runs two Cat Cafes with her sister, providing animal-assisted therapy for local communities in Manchester and Liverpool, and she runs this alongside her role as a wife and the mother of two boisterous children.
