Lucy McCormick

She starred as Annabelle West in Carl Grose’s adaptation of THE CAT AND THE CANARY at Chichester Festival Theatre.

Earlier in 2024, Lucy received rave reviews for her starring role in Charlie Josephine’s production of COWBOIS at the RSC.

“Emma Pallant and Lucy McCormick (a dead ringer for Katherine Parkinson in her skittish comic bluster) are a riot as the repressed wives flapping their fans with increasing zeal.” The Guardian ★★★★

‘The cast rise to the occasion, with Lucy McCormick’s lust-riddled frontier wife and LJ Parkinson’s non-binary bandit provoking particularly loud laughs’  The Telegraph ★★★★

Over the summer of 2023, Lucy took her latest live show – Lucy and Friends – to the Edinburgh Fringe. Hilariously subversive, deliriously anarchic, Lucy’s performance swept up rapturous reviews:

“McCormick’s genius as an artist is the way she pushes the limits, testing herself and us, the way she makes exploration of community, friendship and loneliness as integral to a piece as the vagina stuff, fusing emotional and bodily mess, while somehow making the whole chaotic experience enormous fun to watch.” The Stage, ★★★★

“If you want outrageous cabaret, songs, jokes, sketches and a bit of emotional depth, all from a supernova performer, you should get into McCormick’s friendship circle soonest”- Chortle, ★★★★ 

“Magnificently anarchic one-woman cabaret revue from live art provocateur Lucy McCormick” Time Out, ★★★★

From January to April 2023, Lucy took to the stage as Saturnius in the Globe’s all-female production of TITUS ANDRONICUS. Lucy’s performance in the deadly revenge tragedy received excellent reviews:

‘The ten-strong cast contribute many powerful performances​. Lucy McCormick is wonderfully petulant as the newly-installed Roman Emperor Saturninus’ ★★★★★ BroadwayWorld

‘McCormick is a star of cabaret and absurdist comedy – it’s a joy to watch her mine some of Shakespeare’s stodgiest lines for unexpected laughs.’ iNews

Throughout 2022, Lucy McCormick could be seen playing the lead role of Cathy in WUTHERING HEIGHTS. After its run at the National Theatre, the production transferred to St Ann’s Warehouse in NYC. Her performance was really something to behold. The Times called it, “Emotionally epic entertainment,” in its 5 star review and noted Lucy’s performance as “Abrasively charismatic”. The Daily Mail praised Lucy’s “compelling” performance and labelled the show – “A wildly imaginative, exhilarating piece of theatre,” in its 5 star review. Elsewhere, the play has received 4 star write-ups from The Guardian, The Independent, The Telegraph and The Stage.

In 2021, Lucy could be seen in the BBC’s – THIS TIME WITH ALAN PARTRIDGE.

As a writer, Lucy has shows in development with several production companies.

Her hit show TRIPLE THREAT took the Edinburgh Fringe by storm and had several sell-out runs at the Soho Theatre before travelling around the globe. TRIPLE THREAT showed post-popular prodigy Lucy McCormick and her Girl Squad presenting a provocative, subversive cabaret retelling of the greatest story of all time. Lucy received a nomination for the TBC Award at the 2018 Off West End (Offie) Awards for TRIPLE THREAT.
