Hannah Platt: Defence Mechanism

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2024

Starring: Hannah Platt

'Voice of a generation' (Skinny). Hannah Platt is an honest, distinctive new comic with an unflinching outlook on the world and, after a diagnosis of body dysmorphia, how the world looks back at her. Often acerbic and never shying away from sensitive topics, Hannah asks why we keep people at arm's length, and are you really a people pleaser if no one is pleased? Nominated Best Debut Show at Leicester Comedy Festival, BBC New Comedy Awards Finalist. Seen on BBC3 and heard on BBC Radio 4. Tour support for Fern Brady, Lou Sanders and Ashley Gavin.
