The description for live comedy show Judith Lucy vs Men reads: "Should Judith hang up her vagina for good?"

It's not as simple as a yes or no, but where would it go?

"I'd hang it somewhere you keep something very, very precious. Maybe one of those incredibly fancy wine fridges," comedian Judith Lucy says.

Personally I'd use dark magic to store mine in a horcrux, but that's beside the point. There need be no hanging up of any vaginas! Judith Lucy is a damn catch, and I tell her so.

"What a shame you're not a single middle-aged man."

The first Judith Lucy vs Men show kicks off in Canberra this Friday. In it, she explores her history with men and whether she's ready to quit dating.

She has a track record for starting her tours in Canberra, which she admits can be a bit of a situation.

"Canberra audiences are very smart. Sometimes how things go down in Canberra is not always indicative of how things go down in the rest of the country."

She says audiences might see her show as a "cry for help". Even if it isn't, a few blokes are acting like it is.

"I've been doing publicity for the show and already I've had some interesting responses. A lovely man just sent my management the details for a solo travellers-only hotel in Greece that he goes to every year, as if to say, come hang out with some swingers."

While Greece is on her bucket list, swinging ain't. "Someone said to me the other day that every swinger he's ever met was a magician."

There's also been 73-year-old Alan from Brisbane who had a crack, and dear Pedro, a man who phoned during a radio interview to ask whether her voice was "real".

Cameron from South Australia surely has to get a mention, a man who despite "being celibate for 15 years" said he would "help her out".

"That too was a lovely offer, and it would be great to know if celibacy was Cameron's idea or the rest of the world's."

Judith Lucy vs Men will be her first solo show since the Helpmann Award-winning Ask No Questions of the Moth in 2015.

The way things are going, Lucy reckons she might get "very lucky" in the nation's capital. She also jokes that she could be married by the end of tour, despite audience members typically being women or gay men.

"There are women who are about my age who have been coming to see me for a really long time, but sometimes there are different generations, a grandmother, a mother and a daughter, all at the same show. The mother is probably dragging the rest along."

She's candid about her dating tales in writing and on screen, but is there anything she'll keep out of the live show?

"I've been doing a bit of editing. I tried some stories out in a pub and at the end of the night, the audience looked so distraught. And I had to say, 'Listen, I'm sorry. If you think listening to this shit is hard, you should try living it.

"I'm fairly confident that most people in the audience will be able to relate to them one way or another, or will be going: 'Thank God that wasn't me.' Hopefully they're laughing either way."

The show might be set to bring the noise, but writing it wasn't always hilarious.

"This show has been really difficult, but at times cathartic, because at the start I really did make myself write down every experience I've had with men. And it wasn't a pretty picture.  Especially in my twenties. God damn, the shit I put up with. I wish I could have gone back to the younger me and told her she was better than that.

"I would tell her not to be so flattered if someone is attracted to you, don't be so grateful. That was my criteria for a long time. If a man was interested in me, I thought that was all that mattered. It almost didn't occur to me that I could choose.

"Some men I'd throw myself at were, quite frankly, not fit to tie my shoelaces."

And with the haunting image of a man being denied the opportunity to tie shoelaces, she had propelled me into a wiser dating life.

In short, before the tour has even begun, Judith Lucy has received countless requests from male suitors and given a twenty-something precious dating advice. I'd see her show.
