Haley McGee is a Canadian actress and comedian based in London.[2] McGee is best known for her role as Dorothy Skerritt in the Doctor Who episode Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror, and for her solo performances, most recently The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale.

The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale

McGee's 2018 solo show invites the audience to value eight objects, each a gift from a former boyfriend.[3] McGee states that the inspiration for the show was finding herself in debt after moving to London, and needing to work out which objects should be sold in order to pay off her debts. This project is being adapted into a book which will be published in 2021 by Penguin Random House Canada[4] and Hodder & Stougton[5] in the UK.
