Harriet Dyer

Harriet strongly believes that she is a recently modified version of the film, ‘The Truman Show’ because life often seems too staged to be real…

''Died twice and became a human miracle (with only one lung), watched my Dad leave my Mum after 30 years of marriage for ANOTHER MAN… And to become a member of a Petshop Boys tribute band, was sacked from a directing cattle job due to the fact that I directed a rather large cow into a rather large truck, learnt how to breath fire but got confused and swallowed a large amount of paraffin, drank 3 bottles of gin and lived my life as Kat Slater (Eastenders) for a week, became an alcoholic, went to a barn dance rave and got my foot stuck in a 12ft paper-Mache donkey, was minding my own business at the beach one day...When a seagull flew into my head and knocked me unconscious, and so the list goes on!''
Harriet regularly performs (whether it be stand-up or as MC) in theatres, pubs, clubs and festivals all over the country. She often gigs 4 times a week and has been on pro bills with the likes of Norman Lovett, Barbara Nice, Shazia Mirza, Carl Donnelly, Kevin Bridges, Tom Wrigglesworth, Gary Delaney and Hal Cruttenden.
