Hannah Platt: Defence Mechanism

Named ‘voice of a generation’ (The Skinny) with ‘humour sharp enough to draw blood’ (The Guardian), Hannah Platt is ‘an undeniable rising star’ (Fest Mag) of the UK comedy scene. In this multi-award-nominated debut, Hannah unravels her frank and acerbic world view - and after a diagnosis of body dysmorphia, how the world looks back at her.
