Lucy Beaumont (comedian)
Lucy Beaumont (born 1983/1984)[1] is a stand-up comedian from Hull. She won the BBC Radio New Comedy Award in 2012 and was a finalist on So You Think You're Funny in 2011.
Early life
Beaumont grew up in Spring Bank and later lived in Hessle with her mother, playwright Gill Adams. She once worked at the meat counter of Asda in Hessle Road. Although she had a brief acting career,[1] she switched to comedy in an attempt to conquer stage fright in preparation for an acting career[2] and was inspired by her sitcom-like life in Hull. Her first gig was for the 2011 So You Think You're Funny competition,[3] for which she would later become a finalist.[4]
Career
Beaumont has appeared, among others, on BBC Three's Live at the Electric and on Dave's Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled.
In 2014 Beaumont presented her show We Can Twerk It Out at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.[5]
Beaumont's radio show To Hull and Back received a pilot on BBC Radio 2 in 2014 and a full series was ordered. It was broadcast in 2015 on BBC Radio 4[6] and was renewed for a second series.[7]
Personal life
Beaumont married comedian Jon Richardson in April 2015.[8][9] Richardson proposed to her using a butter dish which contained a note saying "turn around"; he was behind her with an engagement ring.[2]
