Barbara Scully: Because I'm Worth It at the Civic Theatre Tallaght

What to Expect

Barbara Scully brings her new one-woman show, Because I’m Worth It, to the Civic Theatre in Tallaght for a single evening. It follows on from a previous production she staged, suggesting an ongoing body of solo work built around her own voice and perspective rather than a one-off script. One-woman shows of this kind typically blend comedy with more personal, reflective material, sitting somewhere between stand-up and storytelling theatre.

A 7:00pm start makes this an earlier evening option than some of the Civic’s later comedy and music bookings, which could suit audiences who want a full night out without a late finish, or who are combining the show with dinner in Tallaght beforehand. As a single-night performance, tickets are worth booking ahead rather than leaving to the door, particularly for a returning performer with an established following from her earlier show.

The production sits within a busy run of comedy programming at the Civic through late August, alongside stand-up sets and interactive shows from other performers, giving audiences plenty of choice across the month if this particular date doesn’t suit. For anyone who saw Scully’s earlier show, this is billed as a direct follow-up rather than a repeat, so it should offer new material.
