It was in 2002 when I first became aware of Lucy Porter. She was on stage for only one minute in a 60 acts in 60 minutes show staged at C Venue, but that minute was enough to persuade me to check out her full show. I was not disappointed, and have made a point of seeing her every year since.

Lucy is a very talented comedienne, and despite her petite frame and the fact that she looks about seventeen, has a massive personality that totally fills the room. Her show this year centres on luck, and there is an abundance of excellent material that is delivered in that individual 'Lucy' style, complete with audio visuals a real live raffle and even treats us all to a free sample of her role in 'One flew over the Cuckoos Nest.'

Lucy is so nice to her audience that they seem to empathize with her and she is genuinely happy to chat with her paying public.

Although the show is about Luck, she claims not to believe in it, and her finale certainly puts her beliefs to the test.

However, I'm sure luck doesn't come into it where she is concerned. Her undoubted personality and talent and will certainly see this Angel, with just enough Devil,  soon achieve the superstar status she deserves. I'm sure her packet audience would agree with a paraphrase on the title of the cult American Comedy ‘We Love Lucy’.
