Becky Lucas; Things have changed, but the essence remains at Victoria Hotel

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 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala", "I’ve performed my solo show at the Sydney Opera House and written my very own book called Acknowledgement" 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.

Nothing I write here can truly help you gauge whether I’m the comedian for you so as a bit of an experiment, why don’t you text me on 0410 472 546 - that’s my real number - ask me to say something funny and I’ll do my best. And if no one does it then I’m never writing a blurb ever again.
