Biography

If.Comedy Best Newcomer Nominee 2007

Zoe Lyons

“Her routine was a fireproof parade of quick fire observational gags delivered with utter conviction and unfailing professionalism. The audience didn't really have a chance“. Chortle

In 2003 Zoe did a five minute open spot at a new act night. She got the comedy bug and hasn't looked back since.

In 2004 Zoe won the national Funny Women competition and got to the final of So, You Think Your Funny? She now gigs regularly all over the country and has resident gigs in both Brighton and London.

Zoe is an extremely versatile performer. Her works spans corporate training, radio acting, live TV presenting, and stage sketch shows. She also demonstrated to the nation her ability to laugh in the face of adversity, as a contestant on ITV's 'Survivor!' where she ate a rat and lived to tell the tale and no, rat does not taste like chicken.
