Comedian Lucy Porter's stand-up show Pass It On in Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells

What have we inherited from our parents and what will we pass on, is what comedian Lucy Porter (who got dodgy knees, a collection of glass clowns and global warming from hers) is musing on in her latest stand-up show Pass It On, which debuted at last year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Politicians are especially preoccupied with the idea of legacy, she says - David Cameron probably hoped that he would be remembered for liberalising the Tories and legalising gay marriage but most of us are more likely to recall him for accidentally causing Brexit.

Having recently lost both her parents, and managed 45 years on this earth, Lucy has had plenty of reason to consider what makes a good eulogy. And in considering #metoo, #timesup and all the other, less easily hashtagged attitudes towards historical bad behaviour, she looks at the responsibility older women have to their younger sisters and vice versa.
