2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Elf Lyons: Swan
The giraffe-limbed clown and raconteur is back with her most exciting stand-up show yet. Think big. Think weird. Mathew Bourne would be proud. It's going to be fun. And sexy. Yeah, let's throw that word in there too. Graduate of L'Ecole Philippe Gaulier. BBC New Talent Hot List 2017. 'Hilariously brave... Top twenty names of now' (Vogue). 'Endearingly eccentric on so many levels' (Fest). 'A fast-talking, smart-thinking stand-up for whom the adjective "kooky" could have been invented for' (Guardian). 'Enthusiastically peculiar... showing sexy, nerdy and funny aren't mutually incompatible' (Chortle.co.uk).
