About this show
The critically acclaimed debut show about suffering (and smiling) from Nigerian stand-up Ayoade Bamgboye (Saturday Night Live UK star and winner of Best Newcomer at the 2025 Edinburgh Comedy Awards) is back for three nights only! 'As striking a debut as I've seen... her command, the confidence in her delivery and how she makes the whole room her own, is quite something' (Guardian). 'A mercurial talent... it takes your breath away' (Scotsman). 'The funniest and most commanding debut to land in Edinburgh for many years... startlingly original' * (Chortle.co.uk).
