Becky Lucas

Things have changed, but the essence remains

My name is Becky Lucas and this is the blurb for my stand up comedy show. This is how I am supposed to convince you to buy tickets to see me. By saying things like 'I am the only female Australian comedian to have performed on the Conan O’Brien show in the US', 'I’ve hosted the MICF gala', 'I’ve performed my solo show at the Sydney Opera house and written my very own book called 'Acknowledgements' and so on and so on.

The thing is, I’ve listed my credits here for almost ten years and to be honest, I’m not even sure if anyone has ever read them. I don’t want to include quotes from newspapers about how funny I am because who cares? It’s not like it’s the newspaper's opinion, it’s just something that one of their employees thought one night, and what do they know? They only went to my show because they got a free ticket and they probably wrote the review after three wines on an empty stomach.
