News: UK Tour for Lucy Porter

Comedian Lucy Porter has announced a tour in 2018 for her latest show, Choose Your Battles, starting on 2nd February. 

Have you ever wished you’d told that awful boss where to stick that lousy job? Dumped an ex before they dumped you? Not backed down when that b*%@&d nicked your parking space? Life is full of arguments we wish we'd had, or wish we'd won, but it's also common to regret confrontation.

As someone with a lifelong fear of making a scene, Lucy Porter has always erred on the side of caution when it comes to conflict. When she was a single, self-employed, stand-up comedian, it was never that much of a problem as she spent 99% of her time alone. Now that Lucy's a wife, mother and pillar of the local community, she is finding it a lot tougher. In marriage guidance and parenting manuals, the received wisdom is that you should choose your battles and not sweat the small stuff, but how do you know when to stand your ground? 

For example, if a child refuses to go to a wedding unless they can dress as The Incredible Hulk, what should you do? Lucy decided to take the path of least resistance, only to be faced with a tearful bride and a bill for ruined wedding photos.

Using secret ballots, visual aids and a punchbag with the face of Mary Berry, Lucy works out (with the audience's help) when she should stick to her guns and fight, and when she can use her charm to defuse a situation. 

Lucy Porter is a regular face and voice on TV and radio panel shows having appeared on QI, Mock the Week, Argumental, Insert Name Here, Have I Got News for You, Clive Anderson's Chat Room, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, What the Dickens?, Room 101 and Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled. She is also a quizzing demon having appeared on BBC1’s Pointless, ITV’s The Chase and Celebrity Mastermind, where she fought off competition from Mark Watson and Dave Spikey to achieve the highest ever celebrity score. Lucy also raised on £9000 for The Loss Foundation with her winning turn on Celebrity Storage Hunters. On Radio 4, she has been heard on Life - An Idiot's Guide, Heresy, The Personality Test, The News Quiz, Dilemma and The Unbelievable Truth, and is a regular guest on BBC6 Music on The Radcliffe & Maconie Show.
