Fresh from its hit sold out Edinburgh Festival run, 2026 and The Glasgow International Comedy Festival 2027 The Cut of Her Jib landed on three Fringe hit lists: 14 Shows We’ve Loved, Five Star Picks and Certified Fringe Bangers.

A wicked, gin-soaked dark comedy set on a stormy Edinburgh Hogmanay.

When Belinda’s husband disappears, cleaner Barbara brings forensic instincts and deliciously sharp observations.

Marriage, class and sex are dismantled with biting wit.

Female rage detonates; widowhood can be an upgrade and menopause absolute murder.

From multi-award-winning Glasgow writer Kathleen Ruddy, creator of Sex, Chips & Ouzo, Glasgow Hard Tickets and The Devil Wears Primark. “Comedic beauty” - The List. “A belter, outstanding” - Pillow Talk. “Simply funny” - Edinburgh Guide. “A well-performed dark comedy” - Derek Awards.

The marriage was already dead - they're just gettting rid of the body.
