While a good lot of Yanks might know the name Daniel Sloss, there are definitely way more Scottish comedians that you ought to know and enjoy. Fern Brady is a name of another Scot that you should commit to memory for all her wit and frankness (see and please enjoy Power & Chaos).

Brady is in NYC next month and will be playing for one night in Brooklyn’s own Bell House for two shows. One of them is already sold, but you can still get tix for the 10PM show on Thurs. May 23rd, which you really ought to do sooner rather than later. They’re $40.60 a pop and you can (and should) go get ’em here.

Along side the names of Craig Ferguson, Billy Connolly, and Daniel Sloss, you should add the name Fern Brady to the Scottish-comedians-you-should-know part of your memory.

Brady faithfully continues to hold up a certain Scottish sense of humor that derives from a dark cleverness. That sensibility is woven deeply through her very first special that just came out, Power & Chaos, and makes it a refreshing and satisfying hour of stand-up to get wrapped up in. Also, it’s quite the treat to hear the perspective of not only a woman, but one who is bisexual and is on the autism spectrum through the sound of an exuberant Scottish accent.

Throughout this debut hour, Fern espouses a great sense of calm as she winds her way through her stances on feminism, Brexit, and people trying to do a paltry Scottish accent at her. Thus, the title is quite apt and you should go see all this for yourself when looking to watch a brand new comedy special.

Fern Brady: Power & Chaos is now streaming both as a special and an album and you can get into it here.
