Viral comedian Stephanie Aird is “so excited” to make her Dundee debut.
The web sensation’s ranting videos featuring everything from egg sandwiches to her neighbour Mavis – all with the catchphrase of ‘Today I bring you’ – have earned her more than 20,000 subscribers on YouTube and a host of loyal fans.
She has also appeared on BBC walking programme Take A Hike and reality show Judge Rinder.
And on April 27 the Hartlepool native will ‘bring her LOLs’ to Dundee Social Club for a night of stand-up comedy and tongue-in-cheek tribute acts.
“My best point is when I come out on a wrecking ball, as Miley Cyrus, with just tights and tape,” she hoots. “And I’ll tell you now my darling, it’s not a pretty sight!”
Ahead of the show, we got to know Stephanie – in between fits of giggles.
