Lucy Porter

From the instant Porter bounds onstage, her consummate professionalism is evident. Speedy, precise delivery and uncommonly consistent rhythm explain her popularity. It’s just a pity she still relies exclusively on relationships for material. She has the charm, chutzpah and brains to do some radical stuff, but for now she’s sailing in comfortable waters.
