This is Amelia Bayler’s second Fringe show but her first on anti-depressants, and she’s processing her more destabilising emotions by rekindling and expressing her love of music rather than with recourse to drink and drugs. If that and her afternoon slot take a bit of chaotic energy off the peppy Glasgow-based comic’s performance style, Easy Second Album is nevertheless a diverting, wide-ranging trawl through her life and loves, resurgence and setbacks via a range of music styles. Her ADHD also very much helps keep her present and reactive in the room.

From punk past to her recent embrace of country, baring the darkest agonies of her soul to professing her appreciation of Tupperware, the tone varies wildly from sublime to ridiculous (her dubious attraction to DJs being perhaps the only consistent thread). Some of it is shallow and highly throwaway but a few of the tunes are veritable bangers and she’s engaging company throughout. 
Scottish Comedy Festival @ Waverley Bar, until 14 August, 12.15pm.
