Episode 4: Harriet Kemsley

Amuse Douche with James Haskell

Four weeks in and James is finding comedy isn’t all laughs as he struggles to get to grips with his homework. Running out of excuses, he seeks the advice of comedian Harriet Kemsley. She discusses her own writer's block and how to overcome it.
Harriet explores the importance of honesty and how using real life experience is the foundation of any great stand-up. She recalls her steep learning curve as she went from being unknown to an award winner within months of starting her comedy career.
In the meantime, James flirts with the idea of bringing family into the fray, as Harriet shares her experiences, good and bad, of making comedy a family affair.
