Lucy Beaumont was born in 1983 and grew up in the Spring Bank Area of Hull, England. Lucy, who lived with her mother – Gill Adams, started out with a brief acting career. She, however, made a move to comedy in an attempt to cure her stage fright.

Usually, her comedy centres on life in her hometown (Kingston upon Hull), bringing lights to the dialects, food and norms of that society. Her act is described as observational. She won an award for her show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2015. The comedy couple lives in South West London with their child.
