I love Lucy ... but I make her late

Lucy Porter, that is (and I couldn't quite bring myself to say "... but I make her come late", although I'm sure she would have done in my position).

I saw her last show two years ago in Edinburgh, on her opening night there, and she started about 45 minutes late - the entire venue was running late, show after show being delayed. Not her fault at all.

I saw her latest show two hours ago in Cambridge, on her only night there, and she started about 30 minutes late - the entire city was running late due to a traffic accident. Not her fault at all.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's my fault.

However she was excellent tonight, very funny and tiny, and exactly what I both wanted and needed. I thoroughly recommend seeing her show if you get the chance.

Just don't go with me.
