Miranda Hart is hilarious (imo)

She's not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure, but I love her show, and her appearances on Graham Norton as well.

I posted this in another thread about goofy comedic roles, and I just had to share it here too in case anyone hasn't seen her and might enjoy her show (on PBS in the US).

She's great as Chummy in 'Midwives'.

And it seems she's slimmed down.

but she's a character, and a funny, understated one at that. She plays "Chummy", a highborn British girl whose family is aghast that she has become a midwife in London's East End in the fifties. It's one of my favorite shows. I had no IDEA she was such a great and terrifyingly physical comedian!

I actually find her to be an empowering influence.

She is so full of life and hope and humor!
