Lucy Porter and Pippa Evans remember the comedy genius of Victoria Wood

On 20 April 2016, the world lost the extraordinarily talented and exceptionally funny comedian, actress, singer, composer, screenwriter, producer and director Victoria Wood. As a regular guest at Slapstick Festival (Victoria triumphantly hosted our 2013 gala amongst other things), we knew we had to celebrate her life at the following year's festival. So, in collaboration with Bristol Festival of Ideas and The University of Bristol, we convened a panel which included stand-up comedians Pippa Evans and Lucy Porter, along with comedy and theatre historian Louise Wingrove, to discuss her extraordinary legacy and influence. Needless to say, the show sold out in double-quick time. The event was hosted by Andrew Kelly and is the latest Laughter In Lockdown release.
