Everything Always Works Out For Me – which will kick off with a strictly limited run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August – is a comedy show about break-ups, sloths and trying to think positively while everything descends into absolute chaos. Ridiculous things always happen to Harriet, but this year it’s been out of control. She’s rebuilding her entire life but she just can’t work out which way the building blocks go.
Known for her distinctive humour and endearing honesty, Harriet captivates audiences with her refreshing take on everyday life experiences. As a comedian she is high energy and effortless, engaging and relatable. Capable of charming any audience her popularity only continues to rise cementing her as a distinct voice on the comedy scene. Everything Always Works Out For Me is Harriet at her best - a force to be reckoned with.
Harriet Kemsley said: 'I’m very excited to not only be returning to the Monkey Barrel in Edinburgh this Summer but also to be back on tour, getting lost in train stations around the UK this Autumn. My life completely fell apart last year which has been incredibly humbling, personally painful and has led to some really fun comedy for everyone to enjoy at my expense.’
