Lucy Porter – Let Yourself Go!

Date: Friday 17th April

Time: 7:30pm

Festival favourite Lucy returns with a brand new show about the power of letting yourself go – in every sense. Whether that means embracing your wrinkles and love handles whilst living in a slanket, or having a couple of babychams and dancing like nobody’s watching (and if you’re a middle aged woman, they’re probably not). It’s also about letting go of the person you’ve always thought you are, and using your midlife crisis to pursue new goals and reinvent yourself.

Tickets: From £28 (Click HERE to purchase tickets).
