Ageing millennial Zara Gladman and her alter-egos – including everyone’s favourite Glasgow West End mum Aileen – take centre stage for a worthy cause: to raise funds for Aileen’s son’s gap year. Expect silliness, song and a healthy dose of drama in this acclaimed hour from one of Scotland’s most talked-about comics ('joyful, perfectly observed and frankly iconic' – Josie Long).
