September I (I): Last News

Comedy queen Miranda Hart has opened up about her strenuous years-long journey to stardom, admitting that trying to make it big was no laughing matter and took a staggering 15 years of pitching to the BBC. Each August she would head to the Edinburgh Festival, hopeful for that elusive break, labelling comedy as "one of the bravest things in the world." She reveals: "One day at the Edinburgh festival, I remember saying, 'If I get one audience of over 20 people and one okay review, I'll carry on.' My first week I had three people and then on the final day I got an audience of 21 and a three star review in the Scotsman.That kept me going." On BBC Radio 3's Private Passions, Miranda, now 52, reminisces about her annual pilgrimage to Edinburgh, juggling temp jobs with her passion for comedy: "Every year I would leave my temping job and say 'I'm bound to get my big break now,' and by mid-September I would be back asking if the job was still open." Despite facing endless setbacks, Miranda - who surprisingly tied the knot with surveyor Richard Fairs, 60, last year - saw her persistence pay off with the hit sitcom Miranda, which premiered on BBC2 in 2009.

While some might cringe at the mention of Christmas this early, others are already bagging early gifts as retailers unveil their festive ranges. Among them is health and beauty titan, Boots, who have launched their first Star Gifts of 2024 - and I can already predict which ones will fly off the shelves.That's because I spent five years as a sales assistant for the high-street darling, where each September I'd pull a late shift to set up the festive displays and pack them with their popular '3 for 2' gifts. In the following weeks, I would assist shoppers in selecting presents and spotlight the biggest bargains, usually the weekly-rotating star gifts.
