Reviews

Here are some reviews of Lucy's 2005 Edinburgh show 'Happiness':

“Lucy Porter has long had a reputation for offering a real ‘night out’ and not just a comedy show and her Happiness provides just that … the slickest hour on the fringe” – Sunday Telegraph

“The cheeriest show in town … a laugh-a-minute session” – The Telegraph

“Charmingly twisted, articulate and witty” – The Sunday Times

“Measured and winning … You will be smiling constantly, laughing regularly and will leave happy” – The Independent

“The pick of the crop of emerging female comics … Lucy has the elfin charm and killer delivery of a young Felicity Kendal” – The Herald

“Petite, fresh-faced, barefoot and jolly, Porter’s inspired silliness puts a smile on everyone’s face” – The Guardian

“A tiny, cheery, permanently smiling bundle of joy … You’ll have to look long and hard to find a show as supremely structured or perfectly paced as this” – Edinburgh Evening News

“The Fringe’s pre-eminent female stand-up … Even when utter filth is tripping from her tongue – which is often – her sprightly delivery and I-can’t-stand-still-because-I’m-so-excited demeanour means she’s as cute as a six-year-old telling their mum about scoring their first goal… the comedy version of a Radox bath” – The Sunday Herald

“A perky, twinkly comedienne who has the smile of a pixie but the mouth of a docker. She also makes some unexpected, gob-smackingly libellous gags which reveal the dark intelligence beneath the bubbly surface, and her audience banter confirms just how quick on her feet she is” – The Independent on Sunday

“There’s a little survey, a bit of theatre and waves of crisply delivered gags as this barefoot raconteur – anyone for the Sandie Shaw of stand-up? – explores what makes her smile. Bacon frying and seeing a hen-night party tumble like dominos down the stairs at the Comedy Store are particular delights. Motherhood, however, does not appeal to the petite thirty-something: “If I wanted to be nervous, exhausted and broke, I’d get a crack-habit.” Her act is peppered with similarly polished gems, most notably in a breathlessly witty anti-monarchy rant. Porter has plenty to be happy about here.” – The Evening Standard
