TUE 11TH JUN, 2013 Doors: 7.00pm Show: 7:30pm

Laughing Cows presents 2 previews for the price of one. Critically acclaimed comedian Zoe Lyons will be previewing 'Pop Up Comic'. The show is energy packed, a combination of the silly, physical and the satirical. Zoe has taken a long hard look at the big issues of the day, binned them and focused her attention instead on some really important stuff. Why are there so many one-footed pigeons and motion sensitive air fresheners in the world? At a time when comedians are falling over themselves to get on telly Zoe has a few cautionary tales. Ever wondered what it is like to be the thickest contestant on University Challenge or what it feels like to be upstaged by a disabled dog on daytime TV? Zoe does and she isn't too proud to share.
