Duncan Hart is a work in progress—but aren’t we all? From almost dying (twice) to second chances, this is a funny, uplifting story of sobriety and starting again. And possibly biscuits. Definitely diabetes. Oh, and heart problems.
Duncan burst onto the comedy circuit in the late ’90s at just 18. After years on the road, he stepped away from the mic to build a successful career behind the scenes in television, working with comedy heavyweights including Dara Ó Briain, Russell Howard, James Acaster, Rosie Jones and Arthur Smith.
Now, after more than a decade away, he’s back—sharper, hungrier, and with plenty to say. Energetic, sharp and effortlessly likeable, Duncan mines his tragic-comic life for every painfully funny moment, blending punchy writing, crowd work, and just the right amount of chaos. With a commanding stage presence and a natural gift for banter, he’s once again being tipped as 'one to watch'.
