Don't let her pretty face – or cockney accent – fool you: Hatty Preston may be only 4 years into her stand-up comedy career, but she's a captivating, funny presence when she is on stage.
And that makes her a perfect guest for the next episode of A Tight 45 with Tabari McCoy!
A London-born, Chicago-built comedian, Preston is a regular at comedy clubs across her native city and adopted comedy hometown. The 2018 winner of ‘Breakin Thru’ stand up competition, she also runs the popular regularly-sold-out ‘The Big Fizz’ show at Notting Hill’s Little Yellow Door when back across the pond in London.
Whilst in Chicago she is a regular at all major comedy venues: Laugh Factory, Zanies, Comedy Bar and Second City. At The Laugh Factory she was a semi-finalist in their ‘Verified Laughs’ competition and is a regular on their Saturday Night ’Chicago’s Best Stand-Up’ show. She has opened for major US comics such as Theo Von and has performed at the prestigious New York Comedy Club and The Stand as well as The Creek and The Cave, Go Bananas (where she and Tabari first met) and The Virgil in Los Angeles. She also has performed at several festivals across the US in Cleveland, Iowa City, Madison and Milwaukee in Wisconsin and Raleigh, North Carolina.
As an actress, Hatty is best known for playing Princess Maribel in the E! Entertainment Network 's first scripted drama "The Royals" and for originating the role of Minty in Jennifer Saunders’s ‘Viva Forever!’ in London’s West End.
On this episode (out on all major platforms on Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2022), Hatty chats with Tabari about why she got out of acting, how she got into stand-up comedy, the oft-maligned subject of women in comedy, America vs. the UK and accents a'plenty!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
