Stand up Lucy the people person

Stand-up comic Lucy Porter is back on the road, after celebrating 15 years at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival, with her critically acclaimed new show People Person, based around a fascinating true story with a stunning twist in the tale. Along the way, the thirty-something mum of 'Irish twins' (not Jedward thankfully) brings us her hilarious observations. She tackles the big subjects; happiness, home shopping, friendship and the psychological impact of daytime TV's Dom Littlewood.
Lucy had been absent from Edinburgh for the last two years, as she decided to produce children instead of fringe shows. Last year she spent 18 of the 24 months pregnant. Despite this intensive spawning schedule, Lucy continues to have a strong presence on radio. She was recently in the series of ‘The Unbelievable Truth’ and ‘Life: An Idiot’s Guide’, and has also been commissioned by Radio 4 (along with co-writer Catherine Shepherd) to develop a sketch show. You mayalso have heard her co-presenting the magazine show ‘What’s So Funny’ on BBC Radio 4 extra. TV-wise she featured heavily on BBC2’s I’m in a Boy Band! I’m in a Girl Band! and I’m a Pop Star! despite the fact that she is tone deaf and failed grade 3 piano.
Catch her at the Corn Exchange on Saturday. Visit
