****
Sweet but stealthily vicious; like a candy apple stuffed
with razorblades, Lucy Porter is an absolute must see. This show is
a refreshing departure from Porter’s usual spiels about hen and
stag parties. Instead this show is based around Lucy’s longings,
at the age of 33, to become a good person – it is not about Felicity
Kendall’s bottom.
Lucy leads you on a delightful trawl through what is good and bad in
the world and because of her happy-go-lucky nature even her colourful
language seems endearing. Such lovely topics are touched upon including
her own funeral, the perils of having junkies for flatmates and Porter
even enlightens the audience on the ins and outs of some rather charming
sounding fetishes.
