One of the actors in the show, Natalie Davies, posted a message on Facebook at the weekend that said: “And that's a WRAP on #Hullraisers! What an incredible 7 weeks it has been. I'm so overwhelmed right now but my God has it been a blast. To the cast and crew I bloody love you. Thank you @fablepicsuk for having me it's been emotional. Cannot wait for you to meet ASHLEY!” Lucy, a native of Kingston upon Hull, is most known for her stand-up comedy, which is primarily focused on stories about Hull and the Northern England region. Her mother Gill also hails from Hull where she worked as a playwright. In 2013, Beaumont won the Chortle Award for Best Newcomer and appeared on BBC Three's Live at the Electric. She presented her show We Can Twerk It Out at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014 nominated for that year's Best Newcomer Award. [25] I love the honesty of the book and even as a non parent so recognise the ‘ loving I can shop in Waitrose but then wondering if I should be in Waitrose’, the author is a self confessed snob yet cant stand other snobs, something lots of us, in a completely honest moment can at least give a nod to

My only experience of raising children is being a fairly surprised 15 year old when Mum announced she was ‘with child’ over dinner and now daily Facetime chats with this ‘child’ who has 2 of his own under 3, I love the chats but am no parent and am pleased to press the ‘End’ button when the noise gets too loud…..that’s my experience so I started this book not knowing really what to expect and am soooo pleased I went way out of my usual genre, I am still smiling as I write this! It's an odd thing to want to make people laugh all the time, but we get on well when we do that." Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont attend the 2023 BAFTA Television AwardsWhen she toured her 2014 show, interviewees constantly asked ‘Are women as funny as men?’ Beaumont says. “It got in my head. I had terrible self-doubt. It really affected me.” She changed how she presented herself. “I used to take my make-up off before I went on stage and put on a hoodie. If I didn’t, I was getting things shouted at me like ‘Get your tits out’. It just made me more and more nervous.” Filmed earlier this year in locations including Andalusia and Alicante, BCG understands that a 60-minute pilot is currently set to air in the autumn.

It meant Beaumont had less time for stand-up, but she didn’t stop completely. She and Richardson run regular charity comedy nights around Yorkshire. “It’s something I’m really proud of. It’s only an evening of our time, but you can raise thousands.” Watch Jon & Lucy's Party of the Year | Stream free on Channel 4". www.channel4.com . Retrieved 1 June 2023.

While Lucy doesn’t think a North/South divide still exists, she admits you can be shaped by where you grow up. ‘In Hull it feels like there's a great sense of humour that comes from being in a working class town and an exciting place to be,’ she explains. ‘We’re a very small country but I am fascinated by how different areas have different attitudes. You sort of adopt that if you’re not from there. I think the more we keep saying there’s a North/South divide, the more it creates an issue. All there needs to be is better links.’ It was a mix of honesty, fun, fear, frustration and quirkiness and I am actually looking forward to a friend announcing they are pregnant just to buy this for them - even if they are a non reader I will read it to them - especially if they get all " airy fairy ".
