Sarah Millican chats about 'How To Be Champion', which is described as 'part autobiography, part self-help, part confession, part celebration of being a common-or-garden woman'. Plus Mark Radcliffe chats to Simon about the launch of this year's 'Young Folk Award''.

Sarah's book delves into her super normal life with daft stories, funny tales and proper advice on how to get past life's blips - like being good at school but not good at friends, the excitement of IBS and how to blossom post-divorce. If you've ever worn glasses at the age of six, worn an off-the-shoulder gown with no confidence, been contacted by an old school bully, lived in your childhood bedroom in your thirties, been gloriously dumped in a Frankie and Benny's, cried so much you felt great, been for a romantic walk with a dog, then Sarah says this is the book for you.

Since winning the 2008 if.comedy Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for her debut solo show, Sarah Millican's Not Nice, Sarah has firmly established herself as a household name, having been nominated three times for The British Comedy Awards People's Choice: Queen of Comedy and winning the award in 2011. Sarah's debut DVD, Chatterbox Live!, was the biggest selling stand-up DVD by a female comedian of all time, shifting over 150,000 units in the first five weeks of release alone.

A two-time BAFTA nominee for The Sarah Millican Television Programme, Sarah's other television credits include two appearances on The Royal Variety Performance and four appearances on flagship 成人快手 stand-up show Live At The Apollo. She lives with her husband Gary, dog Commander Tuvok and cats Chief Brody and Lieutenant Ripley.
