Check out some of our five-star audience reviews for shows past...

"Absolutely brilliant comedy night. Hip little venue with a good bar and café. The comedians were fab and so many of them. Headline act was fantastic. Can't wait to go again." - Suzy M

"Everything we anticipated- just great - excellent MC and wonderful contributions from all who contributed. What a night of frivolity. Anarchic and acceptably coarse." - Colin from Barrhead

"Great comedy, great venue, great bar people, great audience, great menu, great toilets, great snacks, great walkway, great signs, great beards, great teeth :)" - Del13

"Woke lefty BS" - Simon G

Who's On?

Multi award-winning Scottish comedian and top 1% global Twitch streamer Rosco McClelland is our headliner! Scottish Comedian of the Year 2016 and Best Scottish Compere 2020. Host of Comedy Central Live. 'Joyously weird' ★★★★ (Times). 'The highlight of the show' ★★★★ (Scotsman). 'A gifted storyteller, with great stage presence and, of course, fantastic gags' ★★★★ (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine).

Fearghas Kelly is a stand-up comedian from Glasgow. Twice shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Award and a Semi-Finalist in the prestigious So You Think You're Funny? competition in 2022, his rise up the comedy ladder has seen him perform in world-famous cities such as London, Berlin and Dunfermline. Fresh from his first run at the Edinburgh Fringe, expect semi-verifiable anecdotes about how he spent his lockdown, becoming an unintentional John Lennon lookalike and how recycling glass bottles once got him out of a stabbing.

"A knack for reacting to the news cycle." – The Scotsman

"His material is well written, confident with the audience. Had the crowd on board from the start." – The Stand Comedy Club
