Middle-Aged Women Get Sh*t Done – Lucy Porter

Wed 14 October, 2026 at 7:00 pm

A celebration of the quietly fuming and quite-tired-actually awesomeness of middle-aged women by the veteran stand-up comic and Radio 4 regular, Lucy Porter . With laser sharp observations Lucy hilariously steers us through the trials of being the exhausted filling in the middle of the sandwich generation with her trademark wit, warmth and a hefty dose of righteous rage. Part celebration, part rallying cry, this is a call to arms: women, put down your to-do lists and let someone else take on all the cr*p for a bit.

Lucy Porter is a stand-up comic and writer. She regularly appears on Radio 4 programmes such as The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth, Just a Minute and I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue. She co-hosts a podcast about quizzing called Fingers on Buzzers with Jenny Ryan, aka The Vixen from The Chase. Lucy’s proudest moment was becoming Celebrity Mastermind Champion of Champions – her specialist subject was the comedy genius Victoria Wood.
