Join Ashley Storrie, Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Alan Bissett for three different performances as they use comedy to celebrate the life of Alasdair Gray as part of the Glasgow 850 celebrations.
2025 is not only a celebration of Glasgow becoming a burgh but what also would have been Alasdair Gray’s 90th birthday as well as the fifth anniversary of the Alasdair Gray Archive.
Humour is a connective thread through much of Gray’s work. This special event is part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival and will be a must see.
A show about the body. Marjolein embarks on the second instalment of her standup trilogy by looking at a health condition that, left unspoken about in the past, was almost fatal. Now, shaking off the shame and armed with knowledge, Marjolein talks through menstrual health with humour and another Shetland folktale.
This show is not for the faint-hearted, with 9 audience members fainting and another 18 walkouts during its run at the Fringe. However, this is not gore for gore’s sake. This show has the potential to save lives. Also: JOKES.
