Live Performance
Avoiding the normal stand-up circuit for more character-based comedy, including an appearance in the Edinburgh and touring show The Sitcom Trials, Hart has written her own theatre material for the Edinburgh Fringe. Her one-woman shows include Miranda Hart – Throbs, It's All About Me and Miranda Hart's House Party. She also performed in Alecky Blythe's 2006 play Cruising at the Bush Theatre.
In 2010, she and six other TV celebrities raised over £1 million for the charity Sport Relief by cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End. Miranda also presented part of Sport Relief 2012 which ended in David Walliams dancing semi-naked with her to Abba's "Dancing Queen".
She was among the performers at the Diamond Jubilee concert held outside Buckingham Palace on 4 June 2012.
Hart will embark on her first tour of the UK and Ireland in 2014, with tickets going on sale from 17 December 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performance:
“Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim to all his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functions ... extends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
