Zara Gladman

Zara Gladman is a Scottish stand-up comedian, writer, and character performer known for her viral sketch comedy and sharply observed character work, particularly her alter ego “Aileen,” a satire of affluent West End Glasgow culture. She first gained widespread attention through social media platforms such as TikTok, where her character-driven sketches and musical parodies reached large audiences and helped establish her as a breakout voice in UK online comedy.
