A double bill of two badass feminist comedians in one night!
ALL ABOARD THE TERMINATION STATION – LILLY BURTON
An exclusive preview of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut from performer, writer, and creative activist Lilly Burton.
A comedy-cabaret about abortion…obvs!
This is Lilly’s story: a bracing, booming and brash autobiographical tale. A misadventure unravelling from the inside out. Here’s to the people who felt lonely, guilty, relieved, ashamed or nothing at all. The people who bled a lot or not that much. The people who think about it often and the people who don’t.
This is a cry to arms that will have you slamming down your pints in support of reproductive rights!

WORK IN PROGRESS – CARMEN ALI
A solo stand up show about sex work, stigma, and society by multi-disciplined performer Carmen Ali (Comedy Bloomers LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year Finalist 2019, as seen on the BBC, TimeOut & The Guardian).
Too often sex workers are written about and talked about without any input from actual sex workers, but Carmen Ali is here to tell you the truth – the good, the bad, and the hilarious.
From how the laws affect us to how she once did a domme sessionwhile listening to ABBA. Sex workers are heavily marginalised and stigmatised, and this needs to end. So come into her dungeon, I mean, basement, I mean intimate cabaret space, and learn (and laugh) about the oldest profession in the world.
Previous audience feedback:
“Personable, warm, friendly, and educational”
“I loved it!”
“I was interested throughout and laughed a lot!”
THIS SHOW IS DOWNSTAIRS
Please note The Glory is a queer venue run by queer people, for queer people and their allies. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards homophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny and discrimination of any kind. Be respectful or you will be asked to leave. Strictly no office, hen or stag parties allowed.
ACCESSIBILITY:
The Glory is a very old building with pre-existing accessibility issues and while we’ve strived to make the space user friendly, there is no ‘easy’ wheelchair accessibility to all areas of the venue.
MAIN BAR ACCESSIBILITY:
The main bar is accessible, though the toilets are up a flight of 3 stairs with a handrail. Wheelchairs cannot access the toilets however. There is a local restaurant a few doors down who have an accessible toilet that they are happy for our customers to use.
BASEMENT ACCESSIBILITY:
To access shows in the basement there is a narrow flight of 12 stairs with a handrail.
SEATING:
The main bar has plenty of seats and tables. Ticketed shows are seated unless otherwise stated.
