The show won Best Comedy Programme at the Broadcast Digital Awards and has been commissioned for a fifth series. The Times has described it as a “gently revealing and rewarding drama”. She is currently starring as one of the contestants for Taskmaster (Channel 4) series 16. Alongside this, she is currently performing her new stand-up show The Trouble and Strife to sold-out audiences across the UK. The tour has been extended for a second leg in Spring 2024.

Last year Lucy created and co-wrote Hullraisers which is a six-part female led comedy series which launched on Channel 4 in spring 2022 – “Hullraisers is unapologetic. It’s laugh out loud. It’s real” (Refinery29). This year, she hosted Channel 4’s new Friday night panel show Odd Couples and was praised as “uproariously funny and highly relatable” by the Radio Times. In 2021 she also published a book with Octopus Publishing entitled Drinking Custard: The Diary of A Confused Mum.

As well as a burgeoning TV career, Lucy has had success on stage and on radio. She is the writer and star of BBC Radio 4’s To Hull and Back and was nominated for the Foster’s Newcomer Award with her debut Edinburgh show, We Can Twerk It Out, for which she was described by Chortle as “irresistibly endearing”.
