Thanks to an unconventional life, Lucy Best has collected more than most. In this one-woman storytelling show, Lucy unpacks a treasure trove of hard to believe but true tales. Do you know anyone else who held a baby dolphin as it died? Or was expelled from boarding school? Did you know bisexuals are actually real? Pocket rocket Lucy Best will share (mostly) hilarious true tales about these things and more!
