Scottish Comedy Highlights: September 2024

Kicking off strong, there’s some tickets left for worldwide comedy phenomenon Comedy! Bang! Bang! which comes to SWG3 Glasgow (4 Sep, 8pm, £35). Join regular hosts Scott Aukerman and Paul F. Tompkins and an array of Bang! Bang! Allstars for a live, improvised edition of the hit podcast.

For fans of local comedy, there’s a host of great stuff lined up. Why not see Fringe hit Shamilton, brought to you by the improv ingenues Baby Wants Candy and starring MC Hammersmith (Glasgow Glee, 15 Sep, 7.30pm, £18). Over at Glasgow Stand, there’s a Benefit in Aid of The Women’s Support Project (18 Sep, 8pm, £17) which boasts a fantastic lineup including Josie Long, Jay Lafferty and Susie McCabe, and you can catch a double bill live recording from offbeat Glasgow-based stand-ups Richard Brown and Chris Thorburn at Monkey Barrel (24 Sep, 8pm, £10-£12).

There’s also a chance to see Maisie Adam in Edinburgh. The mod-haired, high energy comic brings her latest solo show to Queen’s Hall (22 Sep, 8pm, £23.50). Glasgow fans won’t have long to wait – you can catch her at the end of next month at The Glee Club (30 Oct, 7.30pm, £21).

Finally, a heads-up for early next month – this year’s reigning Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Amy Gledhill comes back to town with Make Me Look Fit on the Poster (Monkey Barrel, 4 Oct, 8pm / Glasgow Stand, 6 Oct, 8.30pm, £14-£15), a giggly ride of dating ups and downs, pants-throwing and Toby Carvery. Snap your tickets up quick, cos these will be gone in a flash!
