About this show
Festival favourite Lucy returns with a brand-new hour of stand-up, all about the life lessons she's learned from quiz and game shows. From the 1980s when she dreamed of winning a chequebook and pen or a bin, to the present day where she dreams of winning Only Connect. Lucy's favourite shows have taught her fairness, resilience, courage and grace in defeat. Now she's here to share those lessons with you. There may even be some other prizes along the way! 'A treat from start to finish' (Herald).
