Harriet Dyer

A new blancmange of whimsy from the somewhat fizzy mind of Harriet Dyer featuring hot topics such as wearing a wetsuit on a bus, jaunty social commentary on why couples don’t talk to each other anymore, and trying to get a cow to lick the top of your head.

2024 Winner of C4’s Sean Lock Comedy Award

As seen on Live At The Apollo, Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Extravaganza, Comedy Central Live, The Russel Howard Hour.
