2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Lucy Porter: Choose Your Battles
A brand-new, brilliant hour of stand-up from this perennial Fringe favourite. In these combative times, it's easy to be irritated, offended or downright enraged by other people. How do we know which causes are worth fighting for? Lucy uses her hilarious experiences to help you decide. Recent TV and radio appearances include: QI, Insert Name Here, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, Room 101, News Quiz, The Now Show. 'Impeccably punch-lined anecdotes... genuinely delightful' (Telegraph). 'A treat from start to finish' (Herald). 'Rich with fine routines... an endearing hour' (Guardian).
