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).

Edinburgh Festivals, 10th August 2017Why Lucy Porter loves playing the Edinburgh Fringe
Have you ever wished you'd told that awful boss where to stick that lousy job? Dumped an ex before they dumped you? Life is full of arguments we wish we'd had, or wish we'd won, but it's also common to regret confrontation. Lucy chats with Shaun about her show and her love for playing the Fringe.
Shaun Keaveny, BBC, 25th July 2017Lucy Porter: Choose Your Battles
Employing secret ballots, visual aids and a punchbag with the face of Mary Berry, Lucy Porter is confronting her fear of confrontation this year, asking herself and her audience about the times she was right or wrong to walk away from conflict.
