If life is a journey, Zoe’s has had more than its share of potholes and diversions.

From diving with sharks, to sitting in a shed in Vietnam with a former health secretary (and discovering that MPs aren’t the only parasites she has to worry about). Navigating the road to happiness can be exhausting and baffling. Zoe’s begun to think that even Wim Hof would prefer to be tucked up with a nice hot water bottle every now and then.

But Zoe’s been on that road long enough now that she’s felt a change – not as in the menopause. A real change. If happiness is ending up the best version of yourself, Zoe is finally getting there. She is where she needs to be. She is… werewolf.

The host of BBC’s Lightning, a regular on Have I Got News For You, QI, and Mock The Week – and a survivor of Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins and World’s Most Dangerous Roads on Dave – Zoe is one of the country’s best-loved comedians. 

'A hugely enjoyable mix of brutal put downs and richly funny stories, Lyons has what it takes to delight any crowd' Guardian

​'A tremendously good comic operating at a vertiginous level.' ★★★★​ The Wee Review

'Confident and razor sharp' Observer

Finally, the UK has a new government. That can only mean one thing: new people to take the piss out of.

Leading political comedian and satirist Matt Forde (British Scandal, Spitting Image, The Last Leg) makes this his personal mission.

'Possibly the best political comedy show on the Fringe' ★★★★★ The Telegraph

'Our foremost satirical stand-up... Whatever your politics, you’ll find excellence here' The Sunday Times

'Demand to see Forde in action at the Pleasance outstrips supply – the place is rammed…dependably slick' The Daily Telegraph

'The excellent Matt Forde… even more accurate than Starmer’s needling voice' The Spectator
