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 am currently a contributor and performer to a new online show called ‘The World Show’ hosted by Monkey Barrel. I also do a live stream four days a week on Twitch at www.twitch.tv/ameliabayler. It’s called The Vibe Show. Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am and Saturday nights at 10pm! On Mondays and Fridays it’s a breakfast show, on Wednesday we make tracks on the stream and on Saturday nights there is a pizza party and I do a DJ set. My DJ name at the moment is ‘DJ SQUASHIES PRINCESS.’
Winner of Best Newcomer at the 2020 Scottish Comedy Awards.
I have previously written a fish and chips blog called OH MA COD, fronted a punk band called MISC. MEAT and co-hosted a rave radio show called Nino’s Dream.
