BOOK TICKETS

The giraffe-limbed icon and Gaulier-trained harlequin Elf Lyons brings her cult classic, critically acclaimed, one-woman punk reimagining of Swan Lake to Australia. 

The show involves ballet, violence, wrestling, nudity, an evil owl, magic, 45 bras and a very loose grasp of the French language.


Other than that, it's a very traditional stand-up comedy show performed by a woman.
