Since 2001, Lucy has been a huge hit at the Edinburgh festival with her distinctive, bouncy, feel-good comedy. There’s always a philosophical element to her shows, and The Bare Necessities is Lucy’s least fluffy, most thought-provoking show to date. She
talks about the things that matter in her life: The erosion of our civil
liberties, the rise of surveillance society, the infantilization of grown-ups,
the reason why so many comedians are depressive alcoholics and the ingredients
for a really excellent dirty martini. |

Self-confessed
love addict Lucy is going cold turkey just long enough to try and wrest
control of her life back from her misty-eyed impulses. The Jungian psychoanalyst
Robert Johnson describes romantic love as ‘the single greatest energy

one’ really the greatest goal we can aspire to? |

Are
you in your late twenties or older, and slightly worried that you're not
really a 'good' person? Worried that the legacy you're leaving for future
generations' amounts to little more than a mountain of debt, a mountain
of non-biodegradable rubbish, and a mountain of thoughts and opinions
that add nothing to the advancement of the species?
Lucy Porter is worried about all these things and plenty more besides. Can a drinking, gambling, all-round hedonist ever consider herself to be morally good? Can an avid consumer of cheap airfares, pop culture and cheap clothes ever be good to the planet? Can a bubbly, affable, happy comedienne ever be really good at delivering stand-up that affects other people? |

diminutive comedian grapples with the huge subjects of luck, chance, fortune,
fate and karma.The definitions of, and distinctions between, these terms
are fascinating and highly pertinent subjects after all, the nation

an immense talent and the capacity to express it, whereas Victoria Beckham
is just bloody lucky. |
