Last year, comedian Becky Lucas didn’t think she’d ever be able to live normally again. She certainly didn’t know if she’d ever return to stand-up comedy.
She was sleeping in a hospital chair in Sydney beside her five-month-old baby, who had just had open-heart surgery.
“It was horrific; the worst time of my life,” she says. “I was a complete anxious wreck. I could barely breathe.”
She certainly didn’t feel like a very funny person.
Now, eight months later, Lucas is in the middle of a national tour with her new show, Things Have Changed, but the Essence Remains. It’s her first since she had her son in March last year.
But bringing a one-year-old to comedy festivals around the country has been far from easy.
