Lucy Best: Unbelievable!

Most people have an unbelievable, fantastical story from their life – the kind that makes others question if that really, truly, happened. Thanks to an unconventional life, Lucy Best has collected more than most.In her latest intimate one-woman storytelling show, Lucy unpacks a treasure trove of real-life tales that are often hard to believe.
Do you know anyone else who 'rescues' hankies?
Or was expelled from boarding school?
Did you know bisexuals are actually real?
Lucy will share deeply personal true stories about these things and more.Life is messy and unpredictable, and despite the uniqueness of the stories they are wonderfully relatable, because it's not what happened that connects us, it's how it made us feel.

Expect clowning, impressions and plenty of laughs.

“...daring, outspoken and truly individual. With unrepentant wit and candour, Best darts between wry humour, sage political commentary and the vulnerability of a woman who is perpetually disbelieved (even by herself)." - Olivia Hendry, Fringe World Reviewer

... Best’s delivery is surprisingly clean... consistently funny... Best’s on-stage persona being especially warm and affable... slick delivery" - Jim Schembri

The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
Piper's Playhouse | Crown Entertainment
There’s an endless fascination for the underground nightlife of prohibition-era America or turn-of-the-century Europe.

The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight
Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.
The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
A Mirror | Belvoir
Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Mary said what she said | 2026 Adelaide Festival
Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
