Disgraceful
A one-woman show about a lifetime of behaving badly
Disgraceful is a hilarious journey into the life of a woman who is shamelessly disgraceful and always has been.
Through a mix of stand up, cabaret and sketch comedy, Lucy shares tales of her misspent youth, her ill-mannered childhood and her evident refusal to go quietly into middle age.
You may initially think that Lucy’s disgracefulness is on par with many other mere mortals, but as the stories mount you'll realise that she takes it to Olympian levels. It’s clear that Lucy Best is, and always has been, disgraceful and she has no intention of stopping any time soon.
