Raven – Tour 2022

‘Monsters are real. Ghosts are real too. They live inside us and sometimes, they win’ – Stephen King

Comedy IT-girl, Elf Lyons, floats around the UK with her new horrifying comedy show inspired by Stephen King. Part Mad Clown comedy spectacle, part Hammer Horror – in Raven,  Elf becomes your own personal Pennywise as she merges horror techniques with old school storytelling to make you laugh and shiver in equal measure.

Get a glass of Red Rum, bring your pal Tony and laugh with Elf forever and ever. It will be a Misery if you can’t come.
