Zoe Lyons

Zoe Lyons is set to tour the UK, starting on 5th October, with her critically acclaimed Edinburgh show - ‘Little Misfit’. This past year has seen her appear on Live at the Apollo (BBC2), Channel 4 Comedy Gala, The John Bishop show (BBC1) and Just a Minute (Radio 4), as well as winning the Chortle Best Comic Award. Not bad for a girl who has never really felt part of the gang.

She was the awkward gay kid at school with a different accent and quite a severe bout of alopecia. Never easy for a girl to fit in if she is sporting a massive comb over while harbouring secret desires for Charlie’s Angels (the blond one mostly). Thankfully Zoe has reached that point in her life when the thought of actually fitting in would be utterly terrifying. She doesn’t want to be in anybody’s gang, she is now far happier being a Little Misfit touring the UK.

"I am really looking forward to hitting the road with my new show, Little Misfit. Revisiting some favourite venues as well as performing in places for the first time. So many new Travelodges to explore, exciting!"

She's a very familiar face on TV, with many credits including: Mock The Week (having appeared more times than any other female panelist), Pointless Celebrities, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, The Wright Stuff, and she was the winner of Celebrity Mastermind. Radio credits include News Quiz (Radio 4), The Now Show (Radio 4), It’s Not What You Know (Radio 4), The Al Murray Show (Radio 2) and The Frank Skinner show (Absolute Radio).

Zoe has performed at the Altitude Festival in Austria, at the Udderbelly Festival in London, and she has also hosted the comedy tent at the Latitude Festival.

She took her first steps on the comedy path after training as an actress at the Poor School in London. She went on to win the Funny Women competition in 2004 and her debut Edinburgh show was nominated for Best Newcomer at Edinburgh Comedy Awards. In 2008 she won Dave’s Funniest Joke of the Fringe award. In 2015 and 2016 she was nominated as Best Compere at the Chortle Comedy Awards.
