Loving the laughs

AWARD-WINNING comic Lucy Porter brings a little loving to Leamington's Spa Centre and Warwick Arts Centre next month.
With a Radio Forth Award for best comedian, a Fringe Report Award for best stand up and a New York Television Award for writing already under her belt, Porter has become a well established name on the comedy circuit.
As well as stand-up, Porter has also turned her hand to television and radio. A regular panellist on Radio Four show The Personality Test, she has also appeared on television shows Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Have I Got News For You.
Following the sell-out success of her last show, The Good Life, she is now touring the country with her latest show, Love-in, which comes to the Spa Centre on May 13 and the Arts Centre on May 18.
In her new show she sets out to bust the love myth wide open. She argues the true meaning of love has changed in a world where women openly set out to become WAGS and men shop for compliant, buxom, exotic catalogue brides in the way they used to shop for easy-to-handle, curvy, foreign-made cars.
Tickets are available from the Spa Centre box office on 01926 334418 or online at www.royal-spa-centre.cou.uk, and from the Arts Centre box office on 024 7652 4524 or online at www.warwickartscentre.co.uk
• TIM Vine, star of BBC One’s Not Going Out , brings his new show to Leamington's Spa Centre on May 29. Punslinger is billed as a show packed with hundreds of stupid jokes, dozens of idiotic props and a fistful of ridiculous songs.
