Stand-up show in which Lucy Beaumont, from Taskmaster, tells chaotic and surreal tales about her real-life struggles with quiz shows.
Lucy Beaumont brings her new show, Bad at Quiz Shows, Good with Weirdos, to Hull City Hall on Friday 23 October. It's her first time back on the road since her debut UK tour sold out, and the title gives you a fair idea of where she's coming from.
Much of the set is built around her real-life struggles with quiz shows. She tells the story of losing a contestant £79,000 on The Wheel and forgetting to revise for Mastermind—the kind of things that would leave most people wanting to hide away, but that she turns into a show. From there she sticks to what she does best: chaotic, surreal storytelling. You'll hear about her going into hiding after Celebrity Traitors, making cow udder couture on The Great British Sewing Bee, and what it's like to be someone for whom 'normal' has never really made an appearance.
If you don't recognise the name from the quiz shows, you might know her from Taskmaster or her award-winning sitcom. The whole thing sits in that same surreal, slightly off-kilter space she's known for, and it's all told in her own voice.
