About this event

Easily Distra… Harriet Dyer (as seen on Last One Laughing, Live at The Apollo and Cats Does Countdown) is a very daft lady. The latest in jaunty endeavours sees her finding good in the world, pianos made from teeth, trying to be more than deaf and mental and fish wearing the faces of people that have just had face transplants.
