Retrieved 29 December 2019. That's what I am really: a stand up. I wouldn't have been able to sell this show without the TV I've being doing, but that's not what you do it for. You do it to be in a room full of people and making them laugh - there's no greater feeling, really.

The end felt rushed and confused and I started to dislike her as a person. If you find statements funny which say her daughter meant to say presents instead of peasants, then adding “I died for a minute as we do have a gardener”, this may be for you. By the end I found her patronising, smug, and the snob she admitted she was, who enjoyed rubbing our faces in what the book royalties paid for. I love to see and congratulate success, as with their TV work - I don’t like it forced on my eyes or down my throat. Not for me and deters me from other books by her. I enjoyed Jon’s footnotes more although others dislike them. I did finish it though and will add I am not a mum. Perhaps parents find it more humourous rather than just a diatribe about her life and child. If your mantra is “children are like bodily smells - your own are ok but other people’s are distasteful”, I suggest you avoid.As well as honest it is happy, sad, thoughtful, irreverent, moving,basically every emotion you can think of rolled into one joyous read

The series centres on three women: Toni, played by Hull-native Leah Brotherhead (Bridgerton, White Gold), Rana, played by Taj Atwal (Line of Duty, Truth Seekers) and Paula, played by Sinead Matthews (The Crown, The Power) and looks at their dishevelled, messy and joyful lives. I have enjoyed Lucy’s comedy on TV so I bought this. Maybe I’d have enjoyed an audio version or wasn’t in comedic mood to self deliver any wit here. Born prematurely in Truro while her parents were on holiday in Cornwall, Beaumont grew up with a single mother [2] in the Spring Bank area of Hull. She later lived in the town of Hessle, near Hull. [4] [5] Her mother is the playwright Gill Adams, who won the Fringe First Award for best new play in 1997 at the Edinburgh Festival. [6] She attended Hessle High School, [7] before going on to Wyke Sixth Form College. [8] Beaumont worked at the meat counter of Asda on Hessle Road, West Hull, [3] and later went on to the University of Hull, graduating with a degree in drama studies. [5]When my mum looks out of her bedroom window she can see the house she was brought up in on the other side of the road. I personally feel you haven’t achieved much in your life if you can look out and see that but she finds it comforting. Did you need to make any changes to the place? Since Gill Adams makes multiple appearances with Lucy and Jon, many have a suspicion about whether she is her real mum. Gill also appears as Lucy's mum in the hist UKTV show, Meet The RIchardsons. Lucy Beaumont and her husband, Jon Richardson, have a surprisingly happening life as they make uncomfortable jokes about family and each other. Jon: Now we have no sex life but she’s wearing different shoes. It has footballers too. We’re next to Kalvin Phillips [of Leeds FC[ who I try to do a podcast with but never succeed. We are quite autobiographical, me and Jon," she smiles, speaking over Zoom. "Bizarrely, we get on better when we're in situations where most people... we're comics, and comics are a different breed. They are wired differently."
