Lucy Beaumont, a beloved British comedian from Hull, is set to appear on Saturday Kitchen on May 2, 2026. This appearance comes shortly after her split from fellow comedian Jon Richardson, adding a personal twist to her public profile.
Beaumont has enjoyed a notable career in comedy, marked by several significant achievements. She reached the finals of So You Think You’re Funny in 2011 and won the BBC Radio New Comedy Awards in 2012. Her debut Edinburgh Fringe show in 2014, titled We Can Twerk It Out, received a nomination for the Best Newcomer Award.
The timing of her upcoming television appearance raises questions about how Beaumont will navigate this new chapter of her life. In her own words, she stated, “People might think I should talk about it because we were so public and everyone knew us as a couple, but I won’t, and not because there’s any animosity.” This suggests that while her personal life has shifted dramatically, she intends to maintain focus on her professional endeavors.
Key career highlights:
- Channel 4 commissioned her comedy series Hullraisers in 2021.
- She participated in the inaugural series of Celebrity Traitors, which was won by Alan Carr.
- Her mother, Gill Adams, is an acclaimed playwright who won the Edinburgh Fringe Festival’s Best New Play prize in 1997.
This year also sees Beaumont competing in The Great Celebrity Pottery Throw Down, hosted by Liza Tarbuck. The show will feature six celebrities with minimal pottery expertise—an interesting twist that could play out humorously on screen. Each contestant will battle for points in various tasks over five episodes.
The next steps for Beaumont are intriguing. Observers note that while she has faced significant changes personally, professionally she remains steadfast. With new projects on the horizon and a commitment to her craft, it appears that audiences can expect more of Beaumont’s unique comedic flair.
