Lucy Donna Porter (born 27 January 1973) is an English actress, writer and comedian. She has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, the Brighton Festival and many clubs around Britain. She has also a regular voice on BBC Radio 4 in various panel shows, including Quote... Unquote and The Personality Test.
Her stand-up style is characterised as chatty and charming while dealing with adult themes from a woman's point of view.
Porter was born in Croydon, south London. She is married to Justin Edwards. The couple have two children.
She is small, describing herself as 4 ft 11 in (1.50 m) when appearing on The Rob Brydon Show. In September 2009 Lucy appeared on The One Show on BBC One to do a feature on heights.
After a degree in English literature from Manchester University, she worked as a journalist on The Big Issue in The North. Porter began to perform stand-up comedy whilst working as a researcher for Granada Television, on programmes such as The Mrs Merton Show. Her first performance was at a club in Chester, because that was far enough from home that if it went badly no one would know her.
As an actress, she made brief appearances in Life's a Pitch and Absolute Power. Her first high-profile acting role was alongside Christian Slater in the stage version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2004. She reprised her role of a nurse for the 2005 London production.
