Sarah Stewart – Midwife Crisis
Saturday 9 August 2025 4.30pm
Sarah Stewart’s past 40 years have been a roller-coaster of birthing babies, corralling a hopeless husband, and wondering where her kids ‘parked’ themselves this time. Now, on the wrong side of 60, she’s traded delivery rooms for bucket lists and swapped forceps for funeral plans (organized in a Google Doc, naturally). This seasoned midwife will be dishing the dirt on life, love, and the Labour Ward. Sarah’s been selling out standup comedy shows like hot scones at a Country Women’s Association meeting, including the North Australian Festival of Arts in October 2024 and this year’s Adelaide, Newcastle and Darwin Fringe Festivals. ★★★★1/2 “Very funny.” – Fifty+SA “This level of entertainment is so rare…..rude and risque” – Canberra City News “Startling stories” – BMA Magazine Sarah’s special guest is Jelin Palm, aka *Jellybean Comedy*.
