Quotes & Press

​

"Sally-Anne Hayward has figured out her niche is filling that accessible naughty but niceness of early Sarah Millican... Whatever she's selling, we're buying; the pitch is so practised, so elegant, so unobtrusive you'll struggle not to laugh."

BRITISH COMEDY GUIDE

​

"Innate effusive likeability with straightforward but effective writing.... a primetime act"

CHORTLE

​

"Small time country posh life versus young lady breaking into the stand-up circuit. Fabulous."

BBC

​

"It's easy to imagine Hayward at the 02 or guesting on QI. She is a crowd-pleaser and a straightforward observational comic, but so are most of Britain's favourite comedians today. Hayward is easily the equal of any of them"

THE SKINNY

​

"Clever observations and sharp punch lines"

BRITISH HR AWARDS 2022

​

What a fantastic night we had, it made the night so much more special, we laughed so much during the gig and our laughter didn’t stop there! We were talking about it for hours long after she had gone, telling each other the same jokes and just re-enacting the funny lines that made us laugh so much. I would honestly and genuinely recommend Sallyanne to anyone who wants a great night with lots of laughter, our Christmas party is one we will all remember simply because of how much we laughed!!
