**Becky Lucas: A Rising Star in Comedy and Writing**
Becky Lucas is a dynamic writer and standup comedian whose career has skyrocketed in recent years. In 2023 alone, she showcased her solo performance at the iconic Sydney Opera House, made her American television debut on Conan, and took the stage at the renowned Just for Laughs Montreal Festival. Becky's journey in comedy began with a notable entrance into the spotlight during the 2013 National RAW Comedy finals, and she has continued to captivate audiences with her humor ever since. Her solo shows have sold out across Australia and New Zealand, and she made her Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2018, further cementing her international presence.
Becky’s television career is equally impressive. This year, she became the first female Australian comedian to appear on Conan O’Brien’s late-night show. Her previous television credits include performances on the ABC TV’s Oxfam Gala, Comedy Up Late, and hosting the documentary Big Bad Love. She has also appeared on notable programs such as The Comedy Channel's Best of the Sydney Fest and Comedy Central's 'Share This,' which drew millions of views.
In addition to her standup work, Becky has made significant contributions as a writer, co-authoring Matt Okine's comedy series The Other Guy and Josh Thomas’s Emmy-nominated Please Like Me. Known for her wit, she was recognized by Buzzfeed as one of the 27 funniest Australian comedians on Twitter, although her humor led to a controversial ban from the platform. Still, she remains active on Instagram and co-hosts a podcast titled “Be Your Own Boss” with fellow comedian Cameron James. With a track record of opening for top-tier comics like Conan O'Brien and performing at elite venues such as the UCB Theatre in Los Angeles and The Comedy Cellar in New York, Becky Lucas is undoubtedly a force to watch in the comedy world.
