Monday 12 June sees the return free comedy in the Merchant City, as Fresh Comedy @ Blackfriars hurtles headfirst into the summer. Expect to see new material from some of Scotland’s best comics, plus the freshest new acts on the scene.
This week’s headline act is Glasgow’s own Rosco McClelland. An offbeat comedian with an energetic (and sometimes downright weird!) style, Rosco is a former Scottish Comedian of the Year who has appeared regularly on BBC Scotland as well as Comedy Central.
Supporting Ross is Amelia Bayler, a musical comedian and DJ who was voted Best Newcomer at the 2020 Scottish Comedy Awards. Amelia’s back catalogue includes songs about such diverse topics as Tupperware and Banana Bread – so it’s anyone’s guess what she’ll talk/sing about on Monday. Whatever it is, you don’t want to miss this.
Our host will be Roddy Cairns, fresh off the ferry from Argyll to deliver an outsider’s view of Glasgow and all its delights. We’ll also have short 5-minute sets from some of the best emerging comedy talents on the Glasgow scene.
Best of all, the entire caper is absolutely free! Come on, what more could you possibly ask for on a Monday night?
