Harriet Dyer is an alternative comedian, writer, speaker based in the UK. In 2015 she was diagnosed with Bipolar and ever since then she’s been taking about mental illness in her comedy. Due to her mental health she started to find gigging difficult so crafted her own little circuit of opportunities that worked best for her. Barking Tales is her mental health comedy night. All the comedians do material related to mental health and the audiences that come tend to have mental health issues too. It’s one of its kind, has built up quite the little community and in 2019 it won City Life / Manchester Evening News “Best Comedy Night in Manchester” beating big dogs like The Comedy Store / Frog and Bucket etc and then in 2020 it won Chortle Best Themed NW Comedy Night, both of which she is most chuffed about. She has big plans for the night once able to continue with it. She’s written a book about her life (Bipolar Comedian) and it’s ruddy good if she may say so herself. She’ll be reading a chapter from it on here every week plus general catch-ups too. When the world isn’t being off its tits she’s resident compere at ROFL Comedy Club in Derby and films it all so shall put unseen clips from there on here too. She’s always got a million different creative plates she’s spinning so she guess that makes here the showroom for them.
