COMIC Lucy Porter is bringing her new stand-up show, Fools Gold, to Lancaster.

The critically-acclaimed comedian talks about the history of the precious metal in the show.

The show looks at those who love gold — rappers and Jimmy Saville mainly — and those who have reason to hate it.

People like Fritz Haber, the scientist who developed a process for extracting gold from seawater and nearly bankrupted Germany because the extraction process cost more than the gold was actually worth.

Lucy also gives us her personal take on gold — why she’s allergic to wedding rings and what she really values instead of gold.

* Lucy Porter, Dukes Theatre, Lancaster, on Sunday, March 7.
