Because I’m Worth It
Because I’m Worth It
A new One Woman Show from

Barbara Scully’s brand-new One-Woman Show Because I’m Worth It comes to Backstage in 2026! This follows the success of her first One Woman Show, Older Bolder Wiser, which will finish touring this spring.
Because I’m Worth It hilariously grapples with the theme of getting older in Barbara’s inimitable style.
A combination of stand-up comedy and story telling, this time the focus is on the fact that, now in her sixties, Barbara is finally able to put herself front and centre 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 whiplash 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!
So don’t miss this laugh-out-loud exploration of aging disgracefully that’s sure to be a hit with both women and men alike!
