Zoe Lyons: Bald Ambition Monmouth
Zoe Lyons has kept herself busy in the last couple of years by having what can best be described as a monumental midlife crisis. It involved buying a sports car, having a brief marital separation and running a 100k ultra marathon which really didn’t end well. Along the way her hair decided the best thing to do was abandon ship. It ain’t easy being a middle aged woman: try doing it with a combover. Thankfully Zoe has been able to explore the funny side of all these twists and turns. It’s time to sell the silly car and try and put the wheels back on her life.
“A hugely enjoyable mix of brutal put downs and richly funny stories, Lyons has what it takes to delight any crowd” Guardian
“Zoe Lyons really cuts the mustard” Scotsman
“Confident and razor sharp” Observer
