Lucy’s debut was a show called Triple Thread. It's an hour-long performance directed by Ursula Martinez Together with two supporting dancers who she calls her Girl Squad, Lucy performed a retelling of the New Testament where she played most of the roles herself. It was made to be a spectacle with absurd art, dancers and pop songs. The show explores gender dynamics in society and how they are not only a disadvantage to women but also often violent to women.[2] The show started out as multiple separate cabaret acts she had performed at places like Duckie.[3] After her debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2016, she went on a UK and international tour.
