Midwife Crisis
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 comedy shows like hot scones at a Country Women’s Association meeting, including her debut solo show at the North Australian Festival of Arts in October 2024. She's even snagged a "Best in Comedy" nomination at the 2023 Sydney Fringe Festival.
