We bring all the flavours for this brilliant comedian.

Harriet Kemsley is an English stand-up comic, writer and actress. You’ll know her from appearances on shows including Live At The Apollo, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Hypothetical and Last One Laughing. She also hosts a podcast with Amy Gledhill, Single Ladies In Your Area, which navigates the world of dating in your 30s. Harriet joins Nick and Angela to chat about her upcoming show, Floozy, which tours the UK from October, right into the start of 2027. Tickets are on sale now.

There’s a reason we always ask guests for their likes and dislikes, and it’s showcased in this episode, because there are just one or two things Harriet can’t - or won’t - eat. From allergies to preferences and a hatred of big tomatoes, we learn everything about Harriet’s palate before Angela serves up the perfect plate: golden aubergine with purple sprouting broccoli, honey baked feta & preserved lemon dressing, a recipe by Diana Henry. For Harriet, the feta is substituted with a vegan cheese and the pistachios are kept out of the kitchen. There’s no shortage of great drinks, too, with a Crodino to start, followed by a glass of Eminence de Bijou and our first coke float for dessert, made with Booja-Booja vegan choc salted caramel ice cream.

It’s a total feast of an episode with the hilarious Harriet that includes tales of pet snails and the stress of having an allergic reaction on your honeymoon. Plus, we find out a sure-fire way to improve the lives of single ladies everywhere.
