Micky Overman is a Dutch-born British stand-up comedian, writer, and actor. She started performing in 2015 after moving to London (she had also spent time in Vancouver). She studied acting and improvisation before pursuing comedy.
She was a finalist in the 2016 Funny Women Awards and a nominee for the Chortle Best Newcomer in 2018. Her work has appeared on ITV2, Channel 4, BBC Three, and online platforms such as Pulped and The Hook.

She also co-hosts the podcast Thank F*** For That with Sarah Keyworth.
In live comedy, Overman made her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut in 2018 with Role Model. Her 2022 show Small Deaths was described as well-constructed and laugh-packed by The Wee Review. She returned in 2023 with The Precipice, which was among the year's best-reviewed comedy shows. In 2025, she began touring with Hold On. She has supported other comedians such as Jamali Maddix, Fern Brady, Sarah Keyworth, and Sean McLoughlin.
Overman’s humor is known for its self-aware, direct delivery and for exploring identity, family, and social expectations. Her writing blends autobiographical honesty with observational wit.
