That said, “we went to Center Parcs recently,” says Beaumont, “and a lady in the toilet said to me: ‘Isn’t it nice that your husband’s let you be on telly with him?’ And you’re just like: ‘OK, I can now go away and write a scene.’” Even in real life, she says, “I very much still feel like the jealous wife who’s hungry for a career.” Beaumont married comedian Jon Richardson in April 2015 after being match-made by fellow comedian Roisin Conaty. [49] They have a daughter born in 2016. [50] [3] In 2023, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with severe ADHD. [51] Works [ edit ] Lucy and Jon - well know for his appearances on 8 Out of Ten Cats, and for successful stand-up tours - live with their daughter, Elsie, three, who is often featured in their show.

From TV's award-winning comedy mum, Lucy Beaumont, comes her hilarious debut on the trials and tribulations of motherhood. Known for her sharp, witty and surreal view on everyday life, Lucy shares the unpredictable craziness of being a mum in this brilliant and laugh-out-loud 'mumoir'. Mums everywhere will recognise the madness of it all.She says she turned to comedy after studying drama at Hull University - the place she also ended up working as a cleaner when her first acting role fell through. But she suffered terribly from nerves. “It felt like every time you walked on stage you were walking off a cliff. I just used to shake. I had to bring it into my persona.”

Fletcher, Harry (16 September 2014). "Jon Richardson engaged to fellow comedian Lucy Beaumont". Digital Spy. Beaumont is extremely relatable and I felt like I was chatting with a much loved friend. A friend who completely understands the Jekyll and Hyde that is motherhood. Someone I can be honest and open with about how tough this parenting gig is. I don’t blame her for wanting to look after a pet bull when she saw an advert on Facebook during her pregnancy and wanted to bring him home to cuddle and have parties with his bull friends. I would be exactly the same. Hormones, it’s always the hormones that mess with your emotions.Lucy tried her hand at many different jobs before her comedy career took off. She first worked at the meat counter of Asda on Hessle Road, West Hull and then went on to get a degree in drama at the university of Hull.

This read like a daily list of what happened, with frequent reminders of how tired she was which may have impacted her memory as she also mentions her famous husband, a lot. Lucy Ann Beaumont (born 1983) is an English actress, writer, and stand-up comedian from Kingston upon Hull, England. Her performance is based largely on anecdotes about Hull and the wider Northern England region. [1] She was a finalist on So You Think You're Funny in 2011 and won the BBC Radio New Comedy Award in 2012. Her 2014 debut show at the Edinburgh Festival, We Can Twerk It Out, [1] [2] was nominated for that year's Best Newcomer Award. [3] Early life [ edit ]She made it to the final. The following year, she won the BBC New Comedy Award. When she took her debut show to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014, it was shortlisted for Best Newcomer. Her jokes found joy and the surreal in the everyday, moving between silly puns and surprising double punchlines with ease. Lucy Beaumont started doing stand-up comedy in 2011 (Photo: UKTV) Not to be deterred, I tried her on blitzed kale - a mental thing to do but I had read that some babies love it and it sort of gets their taste buds ready for, well, living with Gwyneth Paltrow, I suppose." That’s one of Taskmaster’s joys: it’s not only kind, but also the only place on television that allows comedians to fully reveal themselves and to be celebrated for whoever they are. It rewards difference and breadth of approach, which is why series 14’s Fern Brady, diagnosed as autistic, found such powerful public and self-acceptance during her time on the show. What I adored most about this book is Beaumont’s pure honesty about being a mother. It’s confusing, stressful and so so so tiring. As a mother to four boys (NO MORE) I can strongly relate to those long 9 months of pregnancy, the unexpected change of the birthing plan and the endless night feeds. Now that Elsie is at school and life has calmed down Beaumont has had the time to look at her diary and work out what actually happened over the last five years. And WOW dear reader, it is certainly like nothing I have ever read before. My face ached from smiling and giggling at how beautifully embarrassing and real life can be. I loved the interruptions by Jon in the footnotes, together they made this book a joy to read.
