Miranda Hart has always had a special place in my heart ever since I was compared to her in a review for my performance of Scaramoche in We Will Rock You at the age of 18 years old. At this age, just like Miranda, I wasn’t fat. I was big. I had a very early growth spurt at the age of 12 and was 5ft, 8″ and I had size 8 feet by the time I was 13 years old. Miranda’s comedy show Miranda, plays off of the idea that she is big and clumsy, and she has a slapstick comedy style.

Most recently, she performed her first ever stand up comedy routine, which toured the United Kingdom and Australia. Just like Miranda, I am moving from theatre based acting and hoping to perform a stand up comedy routine. If any of you have seen Miranda, you notice that she talks a lot to the audience about various situations, and performs a lot with her face. Her facial expressions and her comedic timing is something I want to include in my performance, and something I will practice along the way.
