Stand Up Comedy
and MC-ing
with Harriet
Harrietâs taken 3 solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe. Sheâs a Funny Women Award UK semi-finalist, Bath Comedy Award judge and WOMAD festival MC. âFresh and relaxedâŠHilariousâ â Fringe Review. âIf the BBC hadnât sacked me, Iâd definitely have Harriet on my showâ Fred MacAulay. Sheâs a passionate advocate of comedy as a force for good, and as well as her Stand Up work, she channels the tradition of the insightful Court Jester into all her corporate coaching.

Hereâs Harriet in action at the George IV Comedy Club in London, chatting to the audience
about the perils of losing the âclass toyâ your kidâs been loaned from Junior School.

Recent corporate gigs include for Mars, The Wellcome Trust, KPMG, Wavemaker, Minds@Work. Harriet has also co-hosted public information events with celebrities such as Meg Matthews and clinicians eg from the British Menopause Society.
Your next MC
Harriet is also an accomplished MC who can both lighten the mood and segue serious topics. Sheâs a very safe pair of hands, for example, whilst MCing at WOMAD festival she kept the crowd in stitches whilst filling in for the headline act when their taxi was thirty minutes late.


Edinburgh Fringe
âHarrietâs first Edinburgh show was âMummyâs gone a bit parentalâ. A wry look at parenting, including advice on the top ten best outfits for school mufti day (e.g. Tequila Shot Girl) and how to strike up conversation at a baby group â âIâll blow Mollyâs nose when I think sheâs emotionally ready. Right now I think it would be a violation of her personal power donât you?â. The show also explored key parenting conundrums, such as: âis it ok to febreze a seven year old? Is it ever acceptable to put a vodka miniature in their snack box? And does seeing the Lego movie really qualify as a good night out?
Hello from The Other Side of 40.
Harrietâs second show explored ageing. Turning 42 was a massive let down for: she didnât unlock the meaning of life, she just got given some moisturiser. To add insult to injury, one month later Adele brought out her album â25â, majoring on the theme of ânostalgiaâ. Harriet was furious: âIâm nostalgic for a time when I didnât have a white streak in my hair - and could enjoy the Gloucestershire countryside without fear of being included in the badger cull.â


MENO-Pause
This show explored the joys of the peri-menopause. Broadway Baby review: â[Harriet] discusses issues that are too often kept behind closed doors, leaving masses of women feeling isolated about the same problem, and she tackles such taboos in an amusing way⊠definitely fills a gap in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.â
Turnip-Led Weaning
Harriet has also written the hilarious spoof nanny advice book, Turnip-Led Weaning. Described as âSupernanny on acidâ itâs a laugh-out-loud parody of mainstream parenting advice. E.g. âBy all means use a tumble dryer, but you can enhance the parent-child bond quite magically by singing your childrenâs clothes dry with your warm breathâ. âSparky, very funny⊠amusing throughoutâ â Jeremy Strong bestselling author of daft books such as the âMy brothersâ famous bottomâ series.
