“Beaumont brings a freshness and an original flourish to each yarn… she has such a laser-guided eye for comic detail”
Bruce Dessau, The Evening Standard ★★★★
BAFTA nominated comedian, Taskmaster star, co-host of chart topping podcast Perfect Brains, and Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Lucy Beaumont, has just announced she is adding a special show at London’s Palladium Theatre on Friday 4th October to the third leg of her already extended debut UK tour of stand-up show ‘The Trouble and Strife’, bringing the tour up to 79 dates across the UK. The news arrives as Sky Comedy have announced a stand-up special for the hit show that will air later this year. Tickets go on sale on Friday 12th July, and can be found at LucyBeaumont.com.
The award-winning comic is going to let loose and let slip on her rollercoaster world overflowing with off-beat stories, unusual anecdotes, and bizarre journeys through modern day womanhood. Life through the Beaumont lens is more surreal than you could ever imagine.
