Hi I’m Amelia and I perform a mix of music and stand-up and I DJ. Before the global pandemic, I performed regularly on the Scottish circuit including at anarchic comedy night Chunks and Monkey Barrel’s experimental night Project X. I also do a live stream on Twitch at www.twitch.tv/ameliabayler. It’s called The Vibe Show.
Check out my radio shows on the DJ / Radio page! They have been on Subcity Radio and Clyde Built Radio.
I also have a podcast where I talk to performers about the clothes they wear! It’s called ‘Funny Looks.’ It’s available on Spotify, iTunes and Soundcloud.
Winner of Best Newcomer at the 2020 Scottish Comedy Awards.
‘Amelia’s been smashing it on the Scottish comedy scene with her trademark Emotional Bangers…her light-hearted tunes and casual delivery make for a great comedic pick-me-up.’ – The Skinny
‘Setting the tone had been snack food, nu-rave pioneer, belting out her absurdly silly songs about burgers, pizza and the bakery Greggs in big, bright costumes of said foodstuffs, filling the room with energy, the earwig quality of her tunes carrying her set.’ – The Scotsman (a review of ACMS at Monkey Barrel)
‘When one of their acts Amelia Bayler took to the stage to sing synth pop ditties about Wimpy restaurants and Dr. Oetker pizzas, well, you knew abnormality had been resumed.’ – The Times (a review of ACMS at Monkey Barrel)
‘Up-and-comer.’ – The List
‘Queen of gesticulations, queen of the millennial aesthetic, queen of the emotional gut punch, Amelia Bayler’s star is truly on the rise.’ – ScotsGay
‘Essentially a quirky mash-up of music and stand-up, which is infectiously funny.’ – The National Student
‘Rising star of the Scottish circuit.’ – The Skinny
‘It is a charming, anarchic, and often pizza-focused experience.’ – The Herald
‘The liberally tattood musical comic favours brightly popping colours, with an assortment of wigs and outfits.’ – The Scotsman

‘Multi-talented, sharp as a tack – one of Glasgow’s most versatile performers’ – Glasgow Live
Mentioned as part of the CHUNKS collective in The Guardian:
‘Chunks’ experiments are often the starting point for something bigger. Amelia Bayler regularly tries out comedy songs there that she later weaves into shows.’ – The Guardian
