Hannah is a stand-up comedian, writer and Finalist of the BBC New Comedian of the Year Award. Merseyside-via-Manchester’s finest misanthrope has already been making her mark as a comic, having been described as ‘A voice of a new generation’ by The Skinny and ‘a voice with something to say’ by Chortle, never shying away from sensitive topics with brutal honesty and quick wit. Recently she has been nominated for Best Debut Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival, has written and starred in her own short for BBC 3 and has written for multiple panel shows on BBC Radio 4. Hannah has also appeared at festivals such as Latitude, Download and Greenman, and supported the likes of Kiri Pritchard-McClean, Fern Brady and Lou Sanders on their UK tours.
