Stand-up show by Lucy Porter about letting go of the person you thought you were and reinventing yourself.
Lucy Porter is back at Salisbury Arts Centre on Friday 13 November, with a new stand-up show called Let Yourself Go. It's presented by Bound and Gagged Comedy, and as the title suggests, the whole thing is built around the idea of letting yourself go — and she takes that in a couple of different directions.
On one hand, it's about the small, domestic stuff: embracing your wrinkles and love handles while living in a slanket, having a couple of babychams and dancing like nobody's watching. On the other, it goes a bit deeper, looking at letting go of the person you've always thought you were and using a midlife crisis to pursue new goals and reinvent yourself. It's that shift from the cosy, low-stakes side of things to the bigger, life-changing kind of letting go that gives the show its range.
If you're not familiar with her, Porter is a festival favourite who's been writing and touring her own material for years. This is a brand new show, but it follows a long line of them: Happiness Stand Up, No Regrets!, Wake-Up Call, The Good Life, Lady Luck, The Bare Necessities, Fool's Gold, People Person, Northern Soul, Me Time, Consequences, Choose Your Battles, Pass It On and Be Prepared. The critics have been on board too — The Telegraph called it 'impeccably punchlined ... genuinely delightful' and The Herald described it as 'a treat from start to finish'.
