Comedian Lucy Porter embarks on her critically acclaimed show Wake Up Call
Following a run at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, comedian, actress, writer and podcaster Lucy Porter is set to embark on a national tour of her critically acclaimed show Wake Up Call.
It is a show about revelations, realisations and epiphanies – 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.
The show takes its inspiration from the unwanted wake up calls we all receive in life.
There’s also some practical advice on midlife crisis management.
Lucy’s friends are crumbling around her amid the pressures of young children, elderly parents, and the depredations of age.
An antidote to “toxic positivity”, this show revels in healthy cynicism.
The only reason Lucy has a Live Laugh Love sign on her house is that it’s more effective at keeping people away than No Cold Callers.
Wake Up Call captures the mood of introspection and reflection that has prevailed over the last few years, but looks to the future and asks where we go from here.
