Mental health awareness is finally mainstream, but therapy is still weird…even for the therapists! Edel is a clinical psychologist who can explain how it all works using comedy and relatable stories about her emo years. Stand Up Therapy: how does that make you feel?
Dr Edel Mc Glanaghy is a reformed emo kid, who became a clinical psychologist and researcher and is now an attention seeking comedian working on her first book.
Edel sold out her first Edinburgh Fringe run, Baby Bingo in 2023, and now performs psychology based comedy about PTSD, therapy and mental health. In 2025 Edel performed at GICF, with The Provocateurs in Edinburgh, and attempted to make sense of other comedians live on stage in Shrink Wrapped.
