DANI HARMER

Though she’s a multi-talented actress, television presenter and singer, Dani Harmer will forever be known as the face of Tracy Beaker in iconic BBC children’s TV series The Story of Tracy Beaker, a role for which she won the 2010 Children’s BAFTA for Best Drama. Today she is perfect for student events and those with a target audience of 20+, Dani Harmer produces a unique MC experience through crowd engagement along with meet and greet opportunities. Harmer made her acting debut on the West End stage as part of The Who’s Tommy, a rock musical based on The Who’s 1969 rock opera – this led to invites to appear in several pantomimes including Snow White, Peter Pan and Dick Whittingham. Her big break came after landing the title role in CBBC’s comedy-drama The Story of Tracy Beaker, a much-loved series which ran for five seasons and even spawned a feature-length film, Tracy Beaker’s Movie of Me. The massive success of Tracy Beaker led to a £3 million record deal and a hit single, 2009’s ‘Free’, though Harmer ultimately chose to focus on her acting career, appearing in such titles as Trial & Retribution, My Family, Pine in the Sky, The 10th Kingdom, Beast and Coming of Age. After starring in her own CBBC sitcom, Dani’s House, she was asked to take a central part in the BBC comedy After You’ve Gone. Harmer has also competed in Strictly Come Dancing, reaching the grand final and finishing in fourth place alongside partner Vincent Simone. READ MORE
