Glasgow’s Taking The Fringe
As part of Blackfriars Third Birthday Celebrations, Brasstacks Comedy are bringing you some of the best up and coming Edinburgh Fringe shows!
About Glasgow’s Taking The Fringe
Friday 4th July: Amanda Dwyer: WIP / Doors 6.30pm
A stand-up show about the traumas of being a women.
After a successful Fringe debut in 2024, Amanda Dwyer is back with a brand-new hour that tackles the raw realities of miscarriage, revenge porn and finding humour in the worst places.
Dark, daft and dangerously oversharing, Amanda unleashes a fierce and funny feminist fury as she navigates the darkest corners of life.
Friday 4th July: Kim Blythe: Cowboy / Doors 8.30pm
Kim Blythe is a cowboy. Not the rugged, western kind but more like a questionable tradesman. Unsure and thriving after selling out two shows at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, Kim brings her sophomore show Cowboy as she tries to make sense of it all. If you feel like you're constantly winging it through life, then Cowboy is the show for you. If you don't feel like that, it's still a great show I promise.
Saturday 5th July: Krystal Evans: WIP / Doors 2.30pm
Following her critically acclaimed debut hour The Hottest Girl at Burn Camp, Krystal has a brand-new hour about her years in hospitality and finally finding comedy. A tale of struggle, celebrity gossip, murder attempts, and musical theatre.
As seen on Mitchell & Webb, Comedy Central, Scot Squad, Breaking the News, Bad Influencer with Mark Nelson and Socially Distant with Susan Calman. Tour support for David Cross, Stewart Francis and Zoe Lyons.
Saturday 5th July: Tamsyn Kelly: Hot Titty Bungalow / Doors 4.30pm
After just four months of dating, Tamsyn blew her life up ditching Penzance for Glasgow. Leaving behind the matriarchs who raised her, and most importantly, her hairdresser, all for a boy. Now she’s questioning why she left a family of formidable women to start over in the rain.
A hilarious hour of family, fresh starts and questionable decisions.
Saturday 5th July: Jack Traynor: Before I Forget / Doors 8.30pm
One of Scotland’s fastest-rising stars, Jack’s highly anticipated debut hour combines the bizarre and the brilliantly relatable. Ranked fourth in the world in the Roast Battle League, Jack shares his best and worst stories before he forgets.
Jack’s vibrant storytelling weaves the real and surreal, and his distinctive comedic style have led him to placing second in the Hot Water Comedy Club New Comedian of the Year, and Roast Battle’s MVP in 2024. Jack’s razor-sharp wit and colourful storytelling make this an unmissable hour from a future star of Scottish comedy.
Sunday 6th July: Ayo Adenekan: Black Mediocrity / Doors 12.45pm
Ayo Adenekan makes his highly anticipated debut hour with a hilarious and heartfelt show about growing up in Scotland. With sharp storytelling and a laid-back charm, Ayo explores identity, belonging and the awkward moments in between. Already making waves on the Scottish comedy scene, he’s been featured in The National and has provided tour support for Sarah Keyworth, Olga Koch and Amy Matthews. Don’t miss this exciting new voice as he brings his unique perspective to his first hour, with the support of Red Bull UK.
Sunday 6th July: Marc Jennings: Bread and Circuses (Preview) / Doors 2.30pm

Sunday 6th July: Kate Hammer: WIP / Doors 4.30pm
