Five Kids' Shows at Glasgow Comedy Festival

The youngest member of our Comedy team flicks through the Glasgow International Comedy Festival programme and finds the best shows for kids. Tip: contains disgusting songs, crying babies and timeless Pixar magic.

Feature by Lauren Hunter | 28 Feb 2016

Nine-year-old Lauren Hunter is a comedy reviewer whose thoughts and opinions have previously appeared in Fest magazine, covering the Edinburgh Fringe in 2015.

Jay Foreman

He's a very good singer. I haven't seen him but I researched his songs on YouTube about the London Underground. Now he's in Scotland he'll have to stick to singing his disgusting songs only.

Jay Foreman: Disgusting Songs for Revolting Children, The Stand, 12-13 Mar, 2:30pm, £4.

Bob’s BlundaBus

I've not met Bob Slayer but I have read The Skinny's interview with him. The show is called How To Drive A Bus and it's for kids. But kids can't drive. It sounds amazing.

How To Drive A Bus, Candleriggs, 12-13 Mar, 4pm, £5.

Watch with Baby

My Dad says the comedians are good and you take your zero to two year-old with you if you have one but don't have child care. There will be lots of crying because it's allowed. But that doesn't matter if your baby is crying too.

Watch with Baby, Baby Comedy, The Glad Café, 19 Mar, 2pm, £8.

Toy Story

This is a fantastic film and this is a great chance to see it on the big screen for people who weren't alive in 1995. It is also good if your DVD is scratched like mine.

Toy Story, Grosvenor Cinema, 26-27 Mar, 10:30am, £4.

I saw this show at the Fringe with my friend Erin and it was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this. I saw some theatre shows at the Fringe too. This show was much better. Although all the comedy was better than the theatre. 

Martin Mor: Funny Stuff for Happy People, The Stand, 27 Mar, 4pm, £4.
