CLOGG-CAST Episode 5 with Harriet Braine

Hello, welcome to CLOGG-CAST! As I can’t currently run my alternative comedy night in Brighton/Hove called ‘CLOGG Comedy’ and as we all have to be indoors, I have started a mini podcast series. Join me as I chat to various unique and inspirational comedy acts.

CLOGG essentially means comedians laughter LOGG. It aimed to be a welcoming space open to acts to practice their highest level of comedy. I hope that it acted as a network for acts to join the forces of stand-up, musical, sketch and character comedy. As well as a safe space for performers to explore many topics and styles of comedy craziness.

Today’s guest is musical extraordinaire Harriet Braine.

Finalist Amused Moose Comedy Award 2017
Winner Funny Women 'Stage Award' 2016
