Miss Hannah Waddingham brings old-school showbiz sparkle, local London instincts, and full vaudevillian charm to Variety’s city game.
Miss Hannah Waddingham is an all-around, old-school, vaudevillian, multi-talented supreme artist — and yes, we will be saying that with our full chest.
The Emmy-winning powerhouse visited Variety to play a round of London or Not London for the outlet’s Ask a Local series, bringing that signature mix of theatre-kid timing, wicked humor, and thoughtful charm that makes her such a delicious screen presence.
