Had the pleasure of working with Zoe Lyons a couple of months back for 'Project X' - great to hear she's just been nominated for the IF Best Newcomer Award at the Fringe this year!
The IF used to be the Perrier Awards, which are pretty damn prestigious Dear Reader. All of us at LTA and CCC wish her good luck. Presented below for your entertainment is Zoe's take on the recent smoking ban in England.
P.S. Had a chance to see another of the nominees, Mickey Flanagan, at the Just for Laughs Showcase last night - if he's in your town go see him - a funny, funny guy).
Wow, that was very Karl Pilkington.

Pilkington is who Ricky Gervais called the funniest man alive in Britain today. He does a podcast with Gervais & Steve Merchant. What makes him funny is that he's either an incredible character actor or an incredibly simple mind who just deadpans ridiculous ideas (while Merchant and Gervais make fun of him). Definitely worth a listen - there's two great comedians on that podcast but Karl is what makes it funny.

Hi Jenny, know who Karl Pilkington is - I just don't know why you mentioned him. Please enlighten! :)

Oh, that's bizarre... I thought I was commenting on this - http://lta.worldcriminal.com/2007/08/edinburgh-fr-11.html#comment-80363159 . I must've mixed up my tabs or something. No, Zoe has very few, if any, similarities with Karl.
