Judith Lucy

One of Australia's most popular stand-up comedians, Judith Lucy's taken her one-woman shows around the country and overseas, and she's just released her first book The Lucy Family Alphabet.

Best known as a stand-up comedian, she's also turned her hand to radio (Ladies Lounge, Foxy Ladies, The Friday Shout, The Arvo) until she was sacked; television (The Late Show, The Mick Molloy Show) until the last regular show she was on was axed; and movies (Crackerjack, Bad Eggs), although she hasn´t been asked to appear in one of those for years. She's just released the full story of her parents and her childhood, after cracking jokes about them for years, in the hilarious book The Lucy Family Alphabet — in stores now.
