Elf Lyons is set to become the next smash hit comedian following her critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe show Being Barbarella.

Described by comedy and theatre critics as what it means to be the ‘voice of the generation’, Lyons’s feminist autobiographical anecdotes has earned her an army of fans. Citing Joan Rivers and Dave Allen as her comedy inspirations, Elf – real name Emily-Anne – has often been compared to actor and comedian Noel Fielding. Currently studying at L’Ecole Philippe Gaulier in Paris, she has balanced studying with touring around Europe and is now set to hit UK shores in 2016 to preview new material.
