BOG OFF… no but don’t because DANI HARMER is on How Very Hannah!!! This one has been on my dream guest list since day one of this podcast, and I am so excited for you to hear this chat 🎭We get into everything from her West End debut at six years old in The Who's Tommy (she had no idea who The Who was, bless her dad), doing the Annie tour at 10, her Rocky Horror days, and the audition process for Tracy Beaker that somehow all happened in basically one day. We also talk about what it was actually like growing up on a TV set, the tutoring schedule, and the role her parent’s played in supporting her dreams.Dani also opens up about directing episodes of The Dumping Ground, her Loungefly addiction, her performing arts academy in Berkshire, and reveals her West End dream role - which she technically can't play, but we're manifesting it anyway. Oh, and she's done panto since the age of seven. This is her 30th year. ICONIC.New episodes every Thursday at 7am!
