Becky Brunning is a comedian, actor and writer. Becky played the character Lindsay Lucas in award-winning crime drama Broadchurch (2017) and is currently filming Manhunt II – The Night Stalker alongside Martin Clunes. She also appeared in Channel 4 comedy Damned alongside Jo Brand and in the ITV real-life crime drama A Confession. Her debut hour of stand up, Beaming toured the Australian Fringe circuit and sold out most of its 2017 Edinburgh run. Her quirky off-beat style secured her place as a finalist at the Funny Women Awards (2013) and she won Audio Go’s national competition, Stand up and Get Heard (2014). Her brilliant Edinburgh Fringe show “Bloom” (2019) was so successful she was regularly forced to turn people away.
