Lucy Beaumont calls out comedy clubs on gender bias and 'all-male bills'
Women don't grow or shine or get equal employment, said the stand-up star from Hull.
Comic Lucy Beaumont has hit out at comedy clubs, saying their all-male bills are no laughing matter.
The stand-up star and actress from Hull said: "You can search every city for comedy this month. I reckon about 90 per cent have either no women or one woman on the bill.
"Some have one woman a month - back to 15 years ago. And don't get me started ONTV panel shows.
"I'm saying this for newer female comics... how do they learn?Women don't grow or shine or get equal employment."
Lucy, 41, separated from fellow comic husband Jon Richardson this year after they starred in five series of Dave's mockumentary Meet The Richardsons.
