Beginning with a BBC Radio 4 play in 2007 after winning a Liverpool Performing Arts Festival competition, Comer built her reputation through acclaimed television roles in British dramas before achieving international prominence as the psychopathic Villanelle in Killing Eve, which earned her a Primetime Emmy Award in 2019. Her Broadway debut in the one-woman play Prima Facie in 2023 proved a watershed moment, securing her the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play and confirming her status as one of the theatre's most electrifying contemporary performers.
