Lighting impossible things on fire. Locking eyes with Donald Trump and feeling compelled to describe her mood to the President. Bombing her stand-up routine in front of 500 pharmacists. Sarah Ison has found herself in the hot seat time and time again in her life as a comedian and federal political reporter in Australia and there’s very rarely a “reasonable” explanation. Sarah's latest hour, Hot Seat, comes after other solo shows like You Laugh, Therefore I Am, which toured across Australia and landed rave reviews of her riotously funny, witty and expressive style.
