Saturday 05 April 2025 Venue:  Salisbury Arts Centre     map   Comedy Address:   Bedwin Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 3UT Telephone:  Box office: 01722 320 333 Event:  Zoe Lyons: Werewolf - 7.30pm - If life is a journey, Zoe’s has had more than its share of potholes and diversions: from diving with sharks, to sitting in a shed in Vietnam with a former health secretary (and discovering that MPs aren’t the only parasites she has to worry about). Navigating the road to happiness can be exhausting and baffling; Zoe’s begun to think that even Wim Hof would prefer to be tucked up with a nice hot water bottle every now and then. But Zoe’s been on that road long enough now that she’s felt a change – not as in the menopause. A real change. If happiness is ending up the best version of yourself, Zoe is finally getting there. She is where she needs to be. She is… werewolf. Venue's website:  wiltshirecreative.co.uk/whats-on/category/salisbury-arts-centre Venue's Facebook:   facebook.com/wiltscreative
