Comedian and host of popular BBC gameshow ‘Lightning’, Zoe Lyons, will be headlining the next event from The Comedy Cow. Fans of Lyons have been kept waiting as the original show she was due to appear on was postponed during the dark days of Covid, but now they can be assured that lightning WILL strike on the 19th May at The Venue in Milton Keynes.
A veteran of the circuit for nearly 20 years, Lyons has an army of followers from her appearances Live at The Apollo, Mock The Week and Comedy Central and was even tasked with teaching soap star Katie McGlynn how to be funny as part of Channel 4s ‘Stand Up and Deliver’ for Stand Up to Cancer.
Opening the night will be freestyle, hip-hop improviser, Abandoman aka Rob Broderick. Broderick is a unique and hilarious act who really needs to be seen to be believed. Described as ‘an unstoppable force of nature’ Abandoman has wowed the crowds at Glastonbury, Latitude and the Adelaide Fringe, as well as making an appearance on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
And if that wasn’t enough there will even be time to squeeze in not one, but two middle acts, with sets from both Matt Richardson and Esther Manito. ‘The decision of who to book was just too difficult, with both Esther and Matt being such outstanding quality, so we just thought why not have them both?’ said Comedy Cow owner Ben Robinson.
Holding the night together is host Jon Pearson. As well as being a firm favourite with the Comedy Cow fanbase, Jon is so good with crowd work that he has turned it into a whole hour long show, ‘What You Been Up To?’ which recently won him best Improv show at The Leicester Comedy Festival.
