‘One of the strongest comedians on the circuit today… It’s a marvel how consistently brilliant her shows are’
★★★★★ Broadway Baby

Scottish comedian Jay Lafferty combines comedy and pole dancing in this jam-packed hour tackling everything from ageing to internalised misogyny, celebrating the power of movement, body positivity and finding joy.

Bahookie is a tour-de-force celebration of what you can achieve when you’re terrified of becoming irrelevant, where Jay uses her signature warm wit and sharp observations to highlight the hilarity that comes from completely overestimating your own abilities.
