Live Comedy

Elf Lyons: Horses

Elf Lyons is bringing her show Horses, "the first ever comedy show performed entirely by a horse", on tour in 2025, after a hugely successful run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Bring your most enthusiastic childhood horse-loving energy to this new hour, all about play and the power of pretending. Treacle's masterful performance has been directed by Elf Lyons, assisted creatively by Trygve Wakenshaw and Dylan Moran.

A celebration of the child within, this hour has everything in it! Expect mime, stand-up, clown pieces and shadow puppetry all performed by Treacle, the horse and Francis of Acissi has helped interpret the interviews with horses, Bob Fosse has helped with choreography and at points Alfred Hitchcock has helped with the dramaturgy...
