Summary

It’s silly turned up to 11, as Mick catches up with brilliantly bonkers comedian Harriet Dyer, who describes her standup as a fizzy blancmange of whimsy. Delicious.  Harriet’s currently on her biggest UK tour to date with her show Easily Distra…, but found some time to chat to Mick about mental health, getting trapped in cupboards and what she’s like at parties.  Tickets for Harriet’s tour can be found here: harrietdyer.com.
