Who We Are
A Craic Team of Stand-Up Comedians
Lady Bits got together in 2024. We first performed together (individually) at the same gig in Drygate, Glasgow as part of a charity Stand-Up Comedy Event in June of that year. Since then, as well as us individually performing all over Scotland, we have teamed up to create the Lady Bits shows.
We sold out our debut Lady Bits show as part of The Glasgow International Comedy Festival in March 2025. We expanded the shows (with The Edinburgh Fringe in mind) and performed Preview Shows in Glasgow, Falkirk and Hamilton which were very well received. We have since delivered 2 wonderful extended shows featuring some guest spots by other invited female comedians at last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival and received excellent audience reviews via the Edinburgh Fringe website, smashed 2 fantastic nights at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival in March.
Now we are returning to The Edinburgh Fringe this summer! We are bringing some friends and we will be performing shows from the 10th-16th August (except Saturday). We have some huge plans this year as this show goes from strength to strength!
Meet The 'Bits'
Paola Barolo
Paola Barolo is an out-of-town comedian with a sharp, relatable style and a knack for finding humour in life's everyday chaos. Drawing on her experiences of neurodivergency, womanhood and adjusting to life in Scotland, she delivers smart, self-aware comedy that's as honest as it is hilarious.
With her quick wit, warmth and distinctive outsider perspective, Paola is fast becoming a fresh and memorable voice on the Scottish comedy scene.
"She did have some big hitters with the crowd" - The Stand
Jen
TR
A 2025 Laurel Awards finalist, Jen TR has a knack for finding the funny in life’s most unremarkable moments. She has a dry, understated wit and a natural gift for storytelling, delivering punchlines with deadpan precision and flawless timing.
Whether she’s unpacking the drama of minor inconveniences or embracing the awkwardness of simply existing, Jen proves that the funniest person in the room isn’t always the loudest.
Libby Bingham
Introducing Libby Bingham, a hilarious and fresh voice in comedy hailing from Ayrshire. As a mum with a knack for keen observation, Libby's comedy is filled with relatable stories about family, everyday life and much more. You'll love her warmth, sharp wit and the wealth of observational material that has seen her become a much sought after act on the Scottish comedy scene.
Gozie Joe Adigwe
Afro-Caledonian nearly describes Gozie. Add a hint of brass neck nosey wit and you're closer.
"I love and despair for humanity in equal measure. Telling jokes, being nostalgic and having a poke at the proclaimed elites is like, wow, a joy in the free world! I dip into my childhood in 70's pre-gentrified west end Glasgow - tenements full of characters and fables. Being a grown-up, menopause, being black and adverts all pondered along the way."
Laura Pryde
Laura is a Nobel prize winning biochemist, entrepreneur, secret agent and professional liar. Despite all the qualifications she spends most of her time pretending to be a grown up in roles such as ‘Rosa’s Mum’, with occasional appearances as a stand-up and actor. She can usually be found paddling on the beach, but if you really need a word try instagram
Rebecca Margey
Tiny, gay and full of stories. She's got a wife, a chaotic cat and parents she loves - even when they are a little confused by the modern world.
Funny, heartfelt and just the right amount of 'what did she just say?'
