Hannah Platt

Named ‘Voice of a generation’ (The Skinny) with ‘humour sharp enough to draw blood’ (The Guardian), Hannah Platt is ‘an undeniable rising star’ (Fest Mag) of the UK comedy scene. Her sell-out debut show ‘Defence Mechanism’ saw her nominated for Edinburgh Comedy Awards ISH Best Newcomer, Next Up’s Biggest Award in Comedy and earned her multiple 5 and 4 star reviews from The Scotsman, Chortle and DIVA Magazine to name just a few. She has recently filmed for Comedy Central live, has written and starred in her own short for BBC Three, written for numerous BBC Radio 4 shows and supported the likes of Fern Brady, Lou Sanders and Kiri Pritchard-McClean on their UK tours. 

‘Platt is in the form of her life’ – Rolling Stone UK 

‘A supremely accomplished example of how to reconstitute deep, personal trauma into punchy, effective stand up’ The Scotsman 

‘A natural performer, coruscating with her wit and refreshingly frank, standing out for being forthright even on a stand-up scene awash with comics talking about their mental health…diamond-quality punchlines’ Steve Bennett, Chortle
