About this show
'Ridiculously funny' and 'extraordinarily talented' (TheReviewsHub.com) clown duo Lady Bolognese are encouraging you, dumb-dumb, to go back to school. But beware: your dinner ladies Barbara and Veronica are in charge now. And they're serving up a scrumptious blend of greasy friendship and anarchic delight, with hints of impending peril. If you behave, you'll be home in time for cocoa and Fray Bentos. It's Thelma & Louise meets George's Marvellous Medicine meets a big pile of offal. So come to class. It's gonna be a riot. Winner – 2026 Leicester Comedy Festival Awards. Sketch Off! 2026 Finalists.

This is Lady Bolognese’s debut Edinburgh show – and they are already stars. A magical, anarchic hour of monstrous joy.
— On the Mic (5 out of 5 stars)
Lady Bolognese teaches this class to never underestimate the women in the background and don’t you dare forget about them. Someone erect a statue in Pleasance Courtyard immediately. Or else.
