PINT-sized comedienne Lucy Porter will be taking to the stage in Bournemouth for the final performance of her People Person tour this week.

The show is the true story of how she met her best friend, with an unexpected twist and plenty of anecdotes about daytime TV, Argos shopping and her husband’s feet.

The 40-year-old said she might even be performing in flip-flops: “It will be a lot of fun as it is the last time I will ever be doing the show. I will definitely be celebrating afterwards and relaxing for a few days in Dorset.”

This unique guide to the human condition draws upon Lucy’s time as a social anthropology student and party animal.

“I still love anthropology and stand-up is a very similar discipline as you are making observations about people, except that I am able to make wild assumptions. I wanted to be an anthropological film-maker and live somewhere for six months and completely immerse myself.”

Debuting at the Edinburgh Fringe, Lucy described how her show evolves during the period of the tour: “The material changes for the show all the time. I think this is the same for most comedians because we all have some kind of personality disorder and find it boring to say the same lines every night.”

“I like to reward people for coming to see live comedy because the experience is so much better for the audience and for the performer.”

Becoming a mother in recent years has changed her lifestyle and opened the doors to new revelations and insights about people.

“It’s mainly changed me because I am incredibly tired and there is a constant deadening sense of fatigue.

“When I came back from my break I was still in a bubble where I was obsessed with childhood and I think I may have put a younger audience off with horror stories about the pain and agony of giving birth.”

She discussed how gender is no longer a bar to entering comedy and how women can now make the transition into the business more easily.

“The impression that women cannot sell comedy DVDs is becoming a thing in the past, just look at Sarah Silverman and Sarah Millican.”

Sarah also counts Steve Martin and “effortlessly cool” Bill Murray as her comedy inspirations. Aside from her stand up show and appearances on talk shows, Lucy also writes for other top comedians, including Johnny Vaughan, Gail Porter and Griff Rhys Jones.

“Sometimes you are very tempted to keep the best lines for yourself.

“I’m also planning to write a play, so watch the space.”

Lucy Porter is at Bournemouth Pavilion on June 28.
