A Brand New Relatable Stand Up Show (WIP)

Award-winning weirdo Elf Lyons performs a work in progress of a brand new show. Traditional stand-up. No clowning. No weirdness. Nothing alternative. No drag.  Absolutely none... Okay? She's doing something relatable this time. Absolutely nothing to do with turning into a snail, or pretending to be a horse from history. There will be absolutely no mime, no clowning and no silliness in this WHATSOEVER.

One of The 50 Funniest Comedians of the 21st Century - The Telegraph

"Praise her genius - and go" ★★★★★ The Telegraph

“This is comedy as enchantment, a show so beguiling that you don’t just love it, you somehow fall in love with it.”
★★★★ The Scotsman

“Expert clowning that’s by turns charming, silly, touching and catastrophic”
★★★★ The Times

“If you prefer your comedy going to the edge then toppling right off that edge try Lyons.”
★★★★ Evening Standard

“Elf Lyons can’t be accused of treading the conventional career path since none of her shows ever remotely resembles the next. She bites fiercely back... if lovable takes you so far, terrifying takes you further"
★★★★ The Guardian

"Hits the stage like a tornado"
★★★★★ The Skinny
