This years host is Lucy Porter

Described as ‘charmingly effervescent’, Lucy Porter is a comedian whose bright and friendly persona can win over any audience. With a disarmingly warm and chatty style Lucy delivers her thoughts and observations on life, love and how odd the world can be like a long-standing and sometimes indiscreet friend.

Lucy has gathered a strong following and excellent reputation on the live circuit, and her annual Edinburgh shows are invariably a sell-out. Also at Edinburgh and away from comedy, Lucy starred alongside Christian Slater in the stage version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

A finalist on Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny?, Lucy is a regular on Radio 4 panel and comedy shows, and has also appeared a number of times on Have I Got News For You and Mock the Week. She has also appeared on Newnight and The Culture Show, Celebrity editions of Pointless and Mastermind, and has written for Johnny Vaughan, Adam and Joe, and Jimmy Tarbuck.

‘A freshness of outlook, and a liveliness of intelligence that quite eclipses the majority of male counterparts.’- The Daily Telegraph ‘Measured and winning ... You will be smiling constantly, laughing regularly and will leave happy’ - The Independent
