Lucy Beaumont presents Bad At Quiz Shows, Good With Weirdos | The Victoria Theatre Halifax | Thursday 19 November 2026
Lucy Beaumont has had quite the year. She lost a contestant £79,000 on The Wheel, forgot to revise for Mastermind, and generally confirmed she's terrible at quiz shows. So she's sticking with what she does best - this autumn, she's back at The Victoria Theatre Halifax with a brand new show.
Following the success of her sell-out debut UK tour, Lucy returns with Bad at Quiz Shows, Good with Weirdos - an evening packed with chaotic brilliance, mayhem, and beautifully surreal storytelling that's made her one of the UK's most beloved comedians.
Expect tales of going into hiding after Celebrity Traitors, creating cow udder couture on The Great British Sewing Bee, and navigating life as someone for whom "normal" has never made much of an appearance.
Whether you loved her on Taskmaster, know her from her award-winning sitcom, or just appreciate someone who turns everyday disasters into comedic gold, this is the night out you need. Come for the chaos. Stay for the weirdos.
Lucy Beaumont is a hugely talented stand-up comedian, comedy actress, and writer from Hull. She starred in and co-wrote the highly rated sitcom Meet The Richardsons (Dave) and co-wrote the Channel 4 series Hullraisers. She also co-hosted Jon & Lucy’s Odd Couples (Channel 4).
Most recently, Lucy appeared on the first ever celebrity series of The Traitors for the BBC, as well as The Great British Sewing Bee, further cementing her reputation as one of the most distinctive and endearing comic voices on British television. Her extensive television appearances also include Taskmaster (Channel 4), The Wheel (BBC One), Would I Lie to You? (BBC One), The Great Celebrity Bake Off (Channel 4), 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4), The Jonathan Ross Show (ITV), World’s Most Dangerous Roads (Dave), Sunday Brunch (Channel 4), The One Show (BBC One), Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back (Channel 4), Artsnight (BBC Two), Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier (Dave), Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled (Dave), Lorraine (ITV), QI (BBC Two), Drunk History (Comedy Central), What’s Going to Kill Us (Channel 5), and Live at the Electric (BBC Three).
She is the writer and star of the BBC Radio 4 sitcom To Hull and Back, co-starring Maureen Lipman, and was nominated for the Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer with her debut show We Can Twerk It Out, which Chortle described as “irresistibly endearing”. She is also the winner of the BBC New Comedy Award and the Chortle Award for Best Newcomer.
A proud daughter of Hull and a fierce advocate for her hometown, Lucy was team captain for the University of Hull on the University Challenge Christmas Special (BBC Two). Lucy has performed in theatres and arenas across the UK, with her most recent stand-up tour extended multiple times due to popular demand. Her radio work also includes appearances on The Unbelievable Truth, Dilemma, History Retweeted, and Crush, as well as starring in The Magical Faraway Tree, an Enid Blyton adaptation directed by Johnny Vegas (BBC Radio 4).
