When Elf Lyons appears on stage, she announces that it will not be her performing but rather a mare named Treacle. What follows is an hour of the best absurdist comedy I've seen in years, definitely not performed by Lyons pretending to be a horse. Not only is Horses a silly fun time, it's also a gloriously dark one, with hilarious black humour that had me in stitches. Ending on a sweet, personal note, Horses is a ridiculous, twisted show that I can't recommend enough.

Never not going to be thinking of this show when I hear someone say “treacle”.

I have no idea what just happened, but I liked it.

So funny, clever, different, skilled and strange. Great Fringe gem!

So glad I went to see this. Impressive

Such pure, boundless creativity that shines through every moment of this bloody bonkers and brilliantly unique performance. The clever use of audio bites and Elf's in-the-zone pony flicks made it feel like she might metamorphosize into a gelding before our very eyes. Clever, daring, and truly original! How do you get back? I'll be sure to be in the audience next time to find out ;)

Loved loved loved the horsing around 🐴

Hilarious and brilliant. This is my third time seeing Elf Lyons - each show has been so different, but equally funny and insightful. A must-book for me every time I see her name. Love love love.

Such a BRILLIANT show! If you're a lover of the true Fringey vibes of Fringe, where artists truly play and go beyond the ordinary, GO. SEE. THIS. SHOW! Also, the artist has really long arms ;-)

The Fringe needs more creative artists like Elf Lyons - sorry I missed Raven last year but super happy I made it to Horses 🐴 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Elf Lyons? Her horses? Fabulous show!!!

After witnessing the brilliance of Raven last season, I had to put together a crew of friends to get in and see this incredible performers new work! One of the most unique, clever, and silly humans you'll ever see in your life. Brilliant writing, hilarious and some dark bits you think you shouldn't laugh at (but you know you will). All the stars forever!! Just go!
