Zoe Lyons
When: March - April 2023
Where: Various locations
Zoe Lyons has kept herself busy in the last couple of years by having what can best be described as a monumental midlife crisis.

Along the way, her hair decided the best thing to do was abandon ship. It ain’t easy being a middle-aged woman: try doing it with a combover. It's time to sell the silly car and try and put the wheels back on her life. Don't miss seeing her live for the Bald Ambition Tour.
