4.5 stars Harriet Dyer is gloriously chatty, wonderfully original and blessed with a very high gag rate. From the outset, the audience - and even the venue tech - were chuckling.
Harriet Dyer has a fast-moving and surreal sense of humour
— one4review (4 out of 5 stars)
Dyer has a wonderfully imaginative, colourful approach to life which is full of joy. She's like a human cartoon, endlessly firing happiness bombs into the air.
