"Anyone who does it should be so proud of themselves and that's what I tried to do when I was talking about it more on stage."
"I only really spoke about infertility once I had children and it was reflexing. I also think that's because I couldn't be funny about it until I knew the ending."
"The other thing with comedy is that people won't laugh unless they know you're OK. You can't tell them the stuff you're not OK about."
Sara Pascoe emphasizes the pride individuals should feel when undergoing IVF, describing it as a significant physical challenge. She shares her personal experience of conceiving her two sons through IVF and how discussing infertility in her stand-up routines became possible only after she had children. Initially, she found it too raw to joke about, but once her son was born, she felt ready to share her journey. Pascoe highlights the importance of being in a good place emotionally to connect with audiences through comedy.
