HARRIET Kemsley will be performing in Bridgwater at the McMillan Theatre on November 17.

Tackling subjects such as her youth and new-mum life, fears for the environment, and the beauty industry's effects on young women, Harriet's show is a joyous look into her life past and present.

Fresh from a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Harriet Kemsley is bringing her new critically acclaimed show ‘Honeysuckle Island’ to Bridgwater next month.

Fed up with being told how to look and behave since she was a teenager, Harriet is taking a long hard squint at the beauty industry through her two remaining false eyelashes.

She channels her personal experiences into this hilarious show, sharing anecdotes and jokes on the vicious cycle of beauty enhancement.

When she was 11 Harriet designed a dream holiday destination called ‘Honeysuckle Island’.

It had waterfalls and ziplines, wild animals, and everything a preteen could ever wish for.

And on rediscovering her design last year Harriet spotted that she’d also included a cellulite machine.

Since having a baby daughter at the end of 2021 Harriet is reassessing societal pressures on women, bringing a funny, light, and important message of self-acceptance, embracing one’s uniqueness and Harriet’s unusual solutions to current beauty trends.

Harriet began her stand-up career in 2011, and within months, won the Funny’s Funny contest.

Harriet’s other accolades include the Leicester Mercury New Act of the Year Finalist, Up The Creek New Act of the Year, and Leicester Square New Act of the Year Finalist.

She has been described by Time Out as ‘a very funny rising star’ and as one of Rhod Gilbert’s ‘Ten Comics to See’ in the Mail on Sunday.

Harriet last appeared at the Edinburgh Festival in 2018 with her sell-out show ‘Slutty Joan’ which went on to tour nationwide.

The event will take place on Thursday, November 17 at the McMillan Theatre.
