Lessons for the Living. Stories from a stand-up comedian who needs a little sit down! by Sarah Stewart

63 and Just Getting Started: Comedian Sarah Stewart Proves It’s Never Too Late to Rewrite the Rules.

In her new one-woman show, “Lessons for the Living” Sarah Stewart (63) shares the hilarious and heartfelt lessons she’s collected from a lifetime of living and loving. After five years of making audiences laugh as a stand-up comedian, Stewart will be branching into a more vulnerable and authentic story-telling performance with a good dose of humour. The show takes audiences on a journey through the pivotal moments that shaped Stewart into the woman she is today. From the practical (and messy) childhood task of learning how to pluck a chicken to the shame of getting caught shoplifting, Stewart leaves no stone unturned.

Stewart says “At this stage of my life, I’ve realized that the most hilarious moments are often wrapped in the most heartfelt lessons. I wanted to share the stories that didn’t just make me laugh, but the ones that made me grow.” In a culture that often overlooks women over 60, Stewart’s show is a bold reminder that aging isn’t about winding down—it’s about gathering the courage for the next chapter.

Attendees can expect:
*Witty Reflections: A sharp, honest look at the “rules” we’re told to follow and when it’s time to break them.
*Vulnerability: Moving accounts of love, loss, and the resilience required to keep going.
*Inspiration: A call to action for anyone looking to rewrite their own rules, proving that “crazy and wonderful” has no expiration date.
