Live review: Gorgon by Elf Lyons
Elf Lyons' new show, created for this year's Vault Festival, wouldn't necessarily have to be a site-specific performance, but it's difficult to imagine a better setting for this story than the long dark space of the cavern, with its crumbling walls and almost tangible scent of decay.

British Comedy Guide, 13th December 2019Review: Werewolf: Live
I knew nothing about Werewolf: Live going in except that the format had recently been sold to a tv company and so it'll become extremely well known very soon, and that tonight's show was set to feature Jordan Brookes, Harriet Kemsley, Bobby Mair, Alison Spittle, Tez Ilyas, Alex Edelman and Elf Lyons. I can see it working quite well on tv too, especially if carefully edited, but tonight it was only a quite good show.

Chris Wiegand, The Guardian, 23rd July 2019Elf Lyons review
I'm not sure how much one actually learns about economics, but as a loopy, unique mash-up Chiffchaff is bang on the money.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 26th March 2019Elf Lyons on the true cost of stand-up
After a Franglais Swan Lake, the comic explains economics with sex dolls in ChiffChaff. She talks about loving horror, how guinea pigs helped her through illness and standing up for comedians.
