The Cut of Her Jib: Comedy Theatre in Paphos

About the event

Kathleen Ruddy's razor-sharp dark comedy lands in Cyprus fresh from a sold-out run at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival. When Belinda Crabbs's husband vanishes, he leaves behind police tape and thirty years of marital exhaustion, and in walks Barbara, the cleaner with forensic instincts and impeccable timing. What follows takes marriage, class and sex apart with biting one-liners and a good deal of delicious cruelty. Critics have hailed it as a belter of a show, likening it to Fleabag meeting a Scottish Desperate Housewives. Running to 70 minutes and best suited to grown-ups given its adult themes, it starts at 7.30pm, with tickets from €23.
