Live Review

Zoe Lyons has pitch-perfect delivery with all the technical skills, cheery grumpiness and straight-to-the-point premises that have served generations of Northern comics. She hasn’t always got the most distinctive material, but there are some rock-solid gags here, and her effortless likeability gets her a very long way.

I saw Zoe at our regular comedy gig at Aberystywth Uni. Female comedians tend to get a bit of cold reception here but Zoe walked on and immediately the crowd seemed to warm to her. She was brilliant, I hope she comes back again next year

Emma, November 2005

Loved her show. Really funny, and would definitely see again.

Rob, October 2005

Hilarious, original material uncannily spinning out of Cherie's mouth. Go see her before she gets much more expensive.

[Anon], May 2005

I thoroughly enjoyed the quirky humour Zoe displays and feel certain she`ll be very successful.

Jacqui, April 2005

I saw Zoe strut out in London last month, and although some of her material has whiskers, she is one of the funniest natural comics I've seen in ages. With a co-writer she could be a huge hit.

Tom Bennett, February 2005

Saw Zoe last night in Bournemouth. Loved her delivery - very very funny set. True, she could do with some more controversial material, but I think this will come with time. I would love to see her again - and I think she has a very bright future.

Louisa West, January 2005

Zoe performed at a pub in Dulwich last Friday and had the audience eating out of her hand. She was warm and witty and very very funny. I especially liked her jokes about Dulwich being twinned with Narnia and her jokes about speed dating. I thought she was great.

Deirdre, December 2004

Zoe was one of the freshest, most vibrant comics I have seen. True, she does cover subjects that have been done before, but with flair and panache. I think she is a star! But most importantly very funny.
