Winner of Radio Forth ‘Best Comedian Award’, Fringe Report Award for ‘Best Stand-Up’
and ‘BAFTA’ Award Nominee For Writing.
Lucy has also won ‘The New Televisions Society Award’ and was nominated for the ‘Royal Television Society Award’, both for writing.
Since 2001, Lucy has been a huge hit with comedy audiences up and down the country with her distinctive, bouncy, feel-good comedy - she has sold-out three nationwide UK tours and in 2010 embarks on her next tour with her brand new show. She has continued to travel internationally with her stand-up – taking in the far East (including shows in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Macau and Manila), Switzerland and Paris. She was also invited to Miami to take part in NBC’s ‘Last Comic Standing’.
On TV, Lucy has added much to the store of human knowledge by appearing on yet more ‘100 Best things’ shows (will they never end?), has guested on ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ and offered herself up for humiliation on Rob Brydon’s BBC show ‘Annually Retentive’. A self-confessed pub quiz addict, in June 2007 Lucy came second only to Rob Deering in the comedy special of ‘The Weakest Link’ and appeared on ‘Have I Got News For You’ with Ann Widdicombe and Danny Baker.
She remains amongst the most sought-after comedy writers in Britain and was one of the lead writers on ITV1’s prime-time Sunday night satirical animation series ‘Headcases’. She’s been responsible for turning Dames Helen Mirren and Judi Dench into mouthy Croydon girls, Robert Mugabe into a West Country farmer, and Angelina Jolie into an evil sweatshop gangmaster. In the summer of 2008 she also performed at the prestigious Kilkenny festival, as well as other mud-soaked festivals such as Latitude.
Lucy is also developing a drama series (working title ‘Good Girls’) for BBC1. For ‘Comedy Demon’, she is making ‘Lucy Loves You’ - a series of mini sitcom episodes about her bizarre home life. The show features puppets, live bands, and Lucy having intimate relations with a bear.
In 2010 Lucy toured the UK for the fifth consecutive year with the most extensive amount of dates.
