Hart hits out at comedians that she ‘hates so much’

TELEVISION star Miranda Hart says she is infuriated by the material of some of her fellow comedians.

The funnywoman and actress’s sitcom Miranda, co-starring Patricia Hodge, Tom Ellis and Sarah Hadland, has been a huge hit on BBC1. But Hart, 39, said: “Comedy is so subjective … I mean there’s some comedy on at the moment which makes me furious. I don’t understand why people like them because I hate them so much.”

The star declined to name names, saying: “No, I couldn’t possibly tell you who.

“As a comedian, the audience think you’re saying, ‘Look at me! I’m the funniest person in the whole world!’… But that’s not what it is – you’re just doing your job.”

Hart never intended her sitcom to be about a “single woman looking for love”, saying her friends worry that becoming famous has made it more difficult for her to find a man as they “are going to feel nervous approaching me”.
