EXCLUSIVE: Meet the Richardsons comedian Lucy Beaumont on her split from Jon Richardson, the success of her live stand-up tour and long-standing sexism within the comedy industry
Lucy Beaumont has described herself as a “small, feral woman”, and while that might be true, her trademark northern wit and no-holds-barred comedy style have made her an adored comic. The Hull comedian spent over a decade as one half of the Richardson comedy pairing, starring with her ex Jon Richardson in the hugely successful Dave series Meet The Richardsons , and presenting Jon & Lucy’s Odd Couples on Channel 4.
“Live shows are unbeatable, there’s nothing like it because it’s so immediate. And each show is totally different. You can sort “It never feels that bad because you sort of do it in fits and starts,” she says of juggling being a mum to seven-year-old Elsie with a busy touring schedule as a working comic. “Once you’ve done teaching and 40-hour weeks, you just feel so grateful. It feels like a real honour doing this sort of job. You’re just trying to make people laugh.”
Lucy’s stand-up tour this year was so successful in its first run that it’s been extended through to December. It includes a gig at the London Palladium on 4 October, which will be her biggest performance to date and a “real pinch-me moment”, she says.
