The ‘Why Is There A Banana?’ Comedy Open Mic @ GICF
Jesters Comedy presents the Glasgow International Comedy Festival edition of the 'Why Is There A Banana?' Stand-Up Comedy Open Mic, the only comedy show named after a stupid question!
About The ‘Why Is There A Banana?’ Comedy Open Mic @ GICF
Featuring a mix of seasoned pros trying out new material, first timers taking to the stage, and everyone in between, entry is free of charge, and all are welcome to watch or perform.
Your host for the evening is award-losing comedian Charlie Wallace. Starting his career on the English language Asia comedy circuit, he has performed extensively in China and Vietnam, as well as Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan and once in Eqypt. Over his six year stand-up career he’s opened shows for Ardal O’Hanlon, Glenn Wool, Phil Kay, Martin Mor and Greg Fleet to name but a few. Now based in Glasgow, he runs Comedy Dundee, Dundee’s most imaginatively named comedy club, as well as working with Jesters and Craicfriars Comedy.
“Excellent and gets better every time I see him.” – Ross Leslie
