2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Lucy Porter: Wake-Up Call
A brand new stand-up show from the Fringe favourite. As heard on Radio 4's The News Quiz and The Now Show. TV appearances include Would I Lie to You, QI and Live at the Apollo. Wake-Up Call is a show about revelations, realisations and epiphanies - both large and small. Subjects covered include: bin collection schedules, the novels of Jean Rhys, cats, school-fair booze tombolas, the Scottish Enlightenment, pressure washers and Huel. It's an exuberant, silly show with some wisdom sprinkled on top. 'Impeccably punch-lined anecdotes... genuinely delightful' (Telegraph).

To be perfectly honest, I chose the title Wake-Up Call because I wanted to do the photoshoot for the poster in my pyjamas - I've found returning to proper clothes a bit of a challenge after lockdown.
