Since the 1990s, comic Lucy Porter has been caught up in the dazzling world of showbiz, rubbing shoulders with big-name stars from both the UK and Hollywood celebrity circuits.
In her new show, Consequences, coming to North Finchley's artsdepot this week, she ignores all that and shares her searing insights into life as a suburban mother of two who is stalwart of the local pub quiz team, married to a giant and has a passion for home-brewing.
Lucy had a list of things she thought she would never be: monogamous, a mother, cat lover, slow-walker, and a miser. Someone who’s been arrested, dumped, sacked from their dream job. A meat-eater, a real-ale enthusiast, a caravaner, a luddite, an evangelist, a teacher.
One by one, Lucy has crossed each of the imaginary lines she had drawn in the imaginary sand. In this show she works out whether there have been any real consequences.
This tour follows a month-long run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August.
