Barbara Scully

I’m delighted to welcome back Barbara Scully who has a brand-new One-Woman Show called ‘Because I’m Worth It’ which she has been touring in 2026. This follows the success of her first One Woman Show, Older Bolder Wiser.

This new show is called ‘Because I’m Worth It’ and is once again on the theme of getting older but with a different focus. Like ‘Older, Bolder, Wiser’ it is a combination of stand-up comedy and story telling.  This time the focus is on the fact that in her sixties Barbara is now finally able to put herself front and centre of her life as she realises that she is ‘bloody well worth it’.”

“There are now things I don’t do anymore because I am worth it, like flying Ryanair for example. I am no longer willing to put up with the risk of whip lash as they execute another ‘on time arrival’ never mind the garish, migraine inducing interior décor and being roared at about raffle tickets like I am at a local GAA fundraiser.”

There are also things she insists on doing now too, because she is worth it and that is where she comes unstuck at times, with hilarious results. Her stories of pampering herself in Spas abroad are hysterical.

Her shows, although clearly aimed mainly at women, have been a hit with the men who have attended too. “I have had men at all my shows, and they laughed and learned lots along the way.” 

Barbara feels that her unique selling point is that she is serving an audience (mainly women over 40) who are not well served by stand up comedy. And women love the underpinning message of her shows…  which is not to fear getting older because with a little luck it can actually be a wonderful phase of life.

“Doing stand up comedy and story telling was not something ever on my radar, but that’s the beauty of being in my 60s…. if an adventure or opportunity comes along I say yes now instead of worrying about the ‘what if’s’. Because you know….. time!”
