The cult comedy-clown reimagining of Swan Lake. In an hour. In French.

Giraffe-limbed comedian and Gaulier-trained clown Elf Lyons brings back her critically acclaimed, utterly ridiculous, one-woman ballet to Boom Chicago. Think Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake meets Tommy Cooper. Expect physical comedy, theatrical chaos, and a very loose grasp of the French language.

It’s big, it’s weird, and it’s oddly sexy. Yeah, let’s throw that word in too.

“A fast-talking, smart-thinking standup for whom the adjective ‘kooky’ could have been invented.” The Guardian

“Elf Lyons has made her name with bizarre, unpredictable clowning that fizzes with invention.” The Times
