Hannah Platt is a rising star in the UK comedy scene, celebrated for her sharp wit, candid style, and undeniable talent. Named “Voice of a Generation” by The Skinny and praised for her “humour sharp enough to draw blood” by The Guardian, Hannah has quickly become one of the most exciting and critically acclaimed voices in stand-up.
Her sell-out debut show, Defence Mechanism, earned her multiple five- and four-star reviews from The Scotsman, Chortle, and DIVA Magazine, while also securing nominations for prestigious awards including Next Up’s Biggest Award in Comedy and the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer. Her unique approach to comedy, blending deeply personal trauma with punchy, effective stand-up, has earned her accolades across the industry, with Rolling Stone UKdeclaring that she is “in the form of her life”.
A regular on BBC Radio 4, where she has written and performed for Fresh from the Fringe, The News Quiz, The Now Show, and Newsjack, Hannah has also appeared on Comedy Central Live and written for BBC Three’s Laugh Lessons. Her powerful stage presence and witty material have seen her support top comedians such as Fern Brady, Lou Sanders, Kiri Pritchard-McClean, and Ashley Gavin on their UK tours.
In addition to her impressive TV and radio credits, Hannah has performed at some of the UK’s most iconic comedy venues, including Comedy Store Manchester, Latitude Festival, Download Festival, Komedia Bath, and the Leicester Comedy Festival. Her shows are renowned for hitting “the sweet spot between harsh and hilarious” (Starburst Magazine) and for their “diamond-quality punchlines” (Steve Bennett, Chortle).
Nominated for Best Newcomer at the Comedian’s Choice Awards and the Leicester Comedy Festival, and finishing as a Finalist in the BBC New Comedian of the Year 2019, Hannah Platt is firmly established as a gifted, engaging, and forthright comic with a brilliant future ahead. As Fest Mag put it, “It’s quite the honour to witness her early days, knowing that the best is yet to come.”
