Lucy Porter - People Person 9th July 2012

Lucy Porter was the 11th show DARKCHAT ever saw, way back in August 2007.

In recent times she has been less prominent on stage and screen due to 2 almost consecutive pregancies. She has always been a comedienne who talks about her own experiences and this show revolves around how she has coped with bringing up two young children. In particular the need to leave the house and try and make new friends, resulting in a chance meeting at a coffee shop.

Lucy Porter is always a good and like-able story-teller and the tale, as always, is funny and interesting with an unexpected (and sad) ending, but it had few laugh-out-loud highlights.

It was enjoyable enough but (on this double-bill of female comics) she had the misfortune to follow the high octane set of Vikki Stone. It is unfair to compare their styles but Lucy Porter failed to build on the momentum the early act supplied.

Fun, but no surprises.
