Life after divorce is 2024's show's raw throughline. Such a bittersweet event allows Harriet Kemsley to weave in just as many "I'm a walking disaster area" social and emotional pratfalls. The laughs cascade into each other at her breathless mile a minute pace, the glittering gold rush.
Ridiculous things always happen to Harriet, but this year it's out of control. She's got to rebuild her whole life but she cannot work out which way the building-blocks go. The multi award-winning Harriet Kemsley is back with a new show about break-ups, sloths and trying to think positively while everything descends into absolute chaos. As seen on Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Hypothetical and Roast Battle. 'Extraordinarily talented' **** (Scotsman). 'Packs in high calibre jokes' **** (Guardian). 'A masterful hour' **** (Skinny). 'Effervescent' **** (EdFestMag.com).
