There aren’t many comedians and performers who walk on stage with a harp. And that’s exactly why Sam Hickman is such a joy to watch.

Yes, she sings.
Yes, she plays the harp. Yes, she is a cabaret performer and a comedian.
And yes — Sam is properly funny.

Sam blends musical skill with sharp, knowing comedy. One moment you’re lulled by the elegance of the harp; the next she’s undercutting it with a lyric that’s dry, mischievous, and perfectly timed. The contrast is what makes it land. Delicate instrument. Bold punchline.
Her stage presence is calm but commanding.

She doesn’t belt for attention — she draws you in, string by string, joke by joke. There’s intelligence in the writing, warmth in the delivery, and just enough cheek to keep you guessing.

Musical comedy can sometimes lean novelty. Sam Hickman makes it feel effortless and clever.
Harp. Humour. And a beautifully timed sting in the tail.

I may be biased as Sam is based in Cardiff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and you can find out more about upcoming performances on her Linktree.
