Lucy Porter

A mainstay of the excellent Radio 4 and 7 panel shows, Lucy Porter’s chatty witty comedy flies in the face of machismo. She is petite, and her stand-up style is characterised as chatty and charming while dealing with adult themes from a woman’s point of view without being Sex in the City.

As an actress, she has made brief appearances in Life’s a Pitch and Absolute Power. Her first high profile acting role was alongside Christian Slater in the stage version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2004. She reprised her role of a nurse for the 2005 London production.

A talented wordsmith she has been one of the writers for all nine series of Parsons and Naylor’s Pull-Out Sections, appearing as a special guest performer in many editions.
