Judith Lucy's Biography
Judith Lucy is
also a best-selling author, a regular on television and film. As a standup comedian for over 20 years, she
sprang to national prominence in 1993 when she joined the cast of ABC TV's The
Late Show. Her television appearances since have been many and varied, but
amazingly 2011's Judith Lucy's Spiritual Journey (ABC1) was
her first solo TV project.
It is
Judith's distinctive stage shows that set her apart - painfully honest, sharply
observed and with a joke rate second to none. It is no surprise that Judith's
live audiences have grown every year since her first solo show in 1995. She has
sold out countless theatrical runs in Australia and has taken her shows to
Montreal, Edinburgh and London's West End.
The release of
her first book The Lucy Family Alphabet (Penguin, 2008) introduced a
whole new set of fans to Judith's work. The book quickly became a best seller
and cemented Judith as an author. She followed this up with the release of her
second book, Drink, Smoke, Pass Out (Penguin, 2012).
Over the years
Judith has also turned her hand to acting, having appeared in the feature films
Crackerjack and Bad Eggs. Most recently she scored a role as a
racist publican in the hit Aussie production The Sapphires, which made
it to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
In 2015, Judith
wrote, produced and starred in the series Judith Lucy Is All Woman. The
show was a six part series for the ABC, where she looked at the role of women
in modern Australia and whether they are better off than they were 50 years
ago. The show was an incredible success, and has since been released as a DVD
Box set.
2015 also saw Judith
return to the stage with her first new solo show since 2012: Ask No
Questions of the Moth, which went on to win Judith the prestigious 2015
Helpmann Award for Comedy.
