An iconic comedian looked unrecognisable as they walked their dog through London's Theatre land on Monday.
Cutting a casual figure she shielded her famous features beneath a baseball cap and shades while her red hair fell to her shoulders in natural curls.
This funny woman has been nominated for seven BAFTAs and her own sketch series on the BBC as well as a spin-off movie.
She's appeared in films alongside Tom Hardy, Selena Gomez and Helena Bonham Carter while also playing one of Doctor Who's most beloved characters.
But can you guess who it is?

It's none other than Catherine Tate, 54, who is best known for her hysterical catchphrase 'Am I bovered?'
It's none other than Catherine Tate, 54, who is best known for her hysterical catchphrase 'Am I bovered?'.
The actress was spotted as she joined her pals for a catch up in Central London before grabbing a cold juice drink on the hottest day of the year.
Catherine found fame with self titled BBC sketch show from 2004-2007, before foul-mouthed character Nan bagged her own film in 2022.
She also returned to the role of beloved Donna Noble in Doctor Who last year after 15-years, in a series of specials alongside David Tennant to celebrate the sci-fi show's 60th anniversary.
Meanwhile on the big screen she appeared in Monte Carlo opposite Selena Gomez, Scenes Of A Sexual Nature with Tom Hardy and Sixty Six with Helena Bonham Carter.
It comes after Catherine's show Queen Of Oz axed by the BBC after just one series, according to TV Zone.
The actress played the leading role as Princess Georgina, a royal party girl sent to Australia by her father after she was plastered all over the tabloids after going from one PR catastrophe to the next.
MailOnline contacted a representative for BBC for comment.

The axe came in a series of relentless cutbacks being made by the broadcaster in their latest bid to make £500million in savings.
In the face of high inflation and a two-year freeze to the price of a TV licence, which provides most of the BBC's funding, the broadcaster is doing anything it can to cut back on costs.
Before the savage cull, Catherine praised the broadcaster for giving the show the green light in May last year.
In an interview with Variety, she said: 'I think it's great that the BBC will hold the reins of being in charge of something as incredible as the coronation, but will also go, I guess, 'This is a palate-cleanser and it's a comedy.'
When asked if she had anyone in mind when fabricating the character, she claimed it was not based on anyone, saying Queen Georgina is 'an entirely fictitious creation.'
But she did say she sympathised with the royals, adding: 'It must be awful to be constantly looked at and constantly scrutinise.'
She joked: 'I can imagine nothing worse than having to dedicate your life to the public.'
The TV series saw the disruptive Princes get herself involved in yet another scandal, so the King decided to send her to Australia to act as the monarch of the country.
He hoped the unprecedented move would give his chaotic daughter a sense of responsibility, but in true comedy fashion, that did not go to plan.

In the first series alone, it saw the new Queen bulldoze her way through into the land of Oz.
She spread disruption with fires caused by littered cigarettes, wrong portraits printed on currency, and the untimely death of a kangaroo, which only made things worse for the royal.
This is just one of a string of victims the BBC has left behind this winter after they also axed Doctors, Unbeatable and Project Icon.
