Pageant Mum began as a one-woman show by comedian Lucy Pearce, which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2015. Drawing on her experience with beauty pageants and family relationships, she incorporated humour, storytelling, and audience involvement. The show delves into modern motherhood through funny observations and unique sketches. Early performances received amazing reviews for brilliant writing, timing, and realistic characters, laying the groundwork for national tours.
Following 2016, Pageant Mum toured the UK, appearing in over 40 cities, including London's Soho Theatre. It was nominated for the UK Theatre Awards in 2017 and frequently sold out Fringe shows. Pearce worked with playwrights and regional theatres to extend the programme, combining humour and live music. With over 300 performances, it became a cult favourite among families and comedy fans, winning praise for its genuineness and humour.
Pageant Mum continues to tour the UK, playing updated routines that reflect modern family life. Audiences love interactive elements, live music, and hilarious improvisation. Fans may see the show in Brighton, Manchester, and Edinburgh, where humour and heart come together flawlessly.
