Released , on YouTube.

Four months into a long-distance relationship, Tamsyn Kelly packed up her life in sunny Penzance, left behind her mother, her formidable grandma, and her hairdresser, and moved 600 miles north to rainy Glasgow. Naturally, she soon paid a psychic named Elaine to check whether she had made a mistake, only to be told her new boyfriend seemed cagey and secretive.

That impulse gamble gives Hot Titty Bungalow its spine. Recorded across two back-to-back shows at Blackfriars in Glasgow on October 30, 2025, the 54-minute special was released on YouTube and Gorilla Comedy+ in July 2026 by 800 Pound Gorilla Media, alongside an audio album.

Kelly came into the taping after winning the 2022 Edinburgh Comedy Awards Panel Prize with Best in Class and touring her 2024 show Crying in TK Maxx. She debuted Hot Titty Bungalow at Monkey Barrel’s Cabaret Voltaire during the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, then took it on a UK tour before pivoting to her next Fringe hour, Rat’s Ass, in 2026.

Rather than chasing a loud stage persona, Kelly relies on laid-back, conversational anecdotes about starting over in her thirties. She covers getting ghosted on Bumble BFF, a friend who identifies as a witch, her ex redecorating their old flat, Vinted economics, and her partner’s nickname for his penis.

Rolling Stone UK named the Fringe run one of its top picks of 2025, and The Herald gave it four stars. Chortle noted that Kelly turns everyday stories into an engaging hour even without a flashy hook, while The List praised her sly wordplay while noting that bits on the mental load tread familiar ground.

Notable bits & set list

6 bits

  1. Opening the show with a karaoke rendition of Bryan Adams and Melanie C's 'Baby When You're Gone'

    Performs an unironic, full-throated duet with an audience member to establish the hour's central theme of committing fully to imperfect life decisions.

  2. Relocating from coastal Penzance to Glasgow in the dead of winter

    Riffs on expecting romantic strolls into the sunset with her boyfriend, only to discover Glasgow sunsets occur at 2:36 PM.

  3. Seeking guidance from a psychic named Elaine about moving 600 miles for romance

    Plays an actual recording of psychic Elaine offering unhelpful, destabilizing observations about her partner being secretive.

  4. Using friendship apps to make new friends as an adult in an unfamiliar city

    Examines getting ghosted prior to a coffee date and mocks how 'Bumble Friends' recycles dating app photos, making platonic connection feel weird.

  5. Dating a fellow stand-up comedian

    Subverts people assuming their home is full of constant laughter with the punchline: 'What house?'.

  6. Purchasing and testing a cut-price love egg

    Delivers an anecdotal story regarding adult novelties and misadventures.
