Lucy’s new show ‘Happiness’ is a feel-good experience. Lucy asks her audience what happiness really means – is it a huge pay packet, a glamorous house with gold taps and access to as many drugs and hookers as you can manage? Or simply eating your favorite kind of biscuit whilst watching 'Countdown' with a pen and paper and a hot water bottle on your lap in a really comfy chair? Winner of 'Test The Nation' and regular on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' and 'Have I Got News For You'. First and foremost, the show features top-flight observational comedy and biting satire. |
