Just over a week ago, Elf Lyons impressed audiences and judges alike at the Funny Women Awards final – so much so that she was named our runner-up! If you missed her, fret not – she’s following the Awards with not one, but TWO upcoming projects in the next couple of weeks. A busy lady indeed!

Elf is co-directing Sitting With Thistle, which is currently running until the 19th October at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre. Presented by new theatre company OddFlock, this is a dark domestic thriller that’s both disturbing and hilarious in equal measures. Definitely not one to miss.

And if you missed the brilliant Elf Lyons is a Pervert at this year’s Camden Fringe, you’ve got another chance to see it. Elf will be performing this Monday 7th October at New Cross’s Amersham Arms.

We have a feeling we’ll be seeing many more exciting projects from Elf Lyons over the next few months – so catch her while you can!

Sitting With Thistle runs from 1-19th October at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town at 7.30pm, with an extra 3.30pm matinee on Saturdays. For more information and to book tickets, click HERE.

Elf Lyons is a Pervert hits the Amersham Arms this Monday at 7.30pm. For more information, click HERE.
