Sweet Things is an hour of sweet festive comedy by two twentysomethings who are very excited for Christmas. Helen is a super energetic over-sharer, where Micky is disarmingly honest, with a thinly-veiled layer of darkness underneath.

Join them as they each take you on a unique journey through their lives, love and Christmas music.

Micky Overman Micky is one of the most promising and exciting acts to hit the circuit in years. A bedrock of surgically sharp writing combined with a cool and confident delivery make her an exceptional comedian. Her material moves quickly from devastating honesty, to brutal whimsy, to on-point social observations. She already has the aura of a successful comic well beyond her years. In 2016 she was asked to perform at the prestigious Just For Laughs New Faces showcase. Micky was a finalist in the Funny Women competition as well as a runner-up in the Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year final.

Steve Bennet at Chortle described her as having:* "strong funny material...she has a keen comic mind"*
