Gary Faulds: Panic at the Midlife Disco

Join Gary Faulds, the Glaswegian comedian who’s survived every type of life crisis imaginable, in Panic At The Midlife Disco. With his kids getting older and the looming reality of mortality getting closer, Gary’s having a hilarious meltdown – and you’re invited to the party. From desperate attempts to stay “cool” with his kids to grappling with his rapidly growing waistline and crumbling youth, Gary’s journey through midlife is anything but graceful. Expect gut busting stories, sharp wit and a brutally honest look at the chaos of growing up, getting old and trying to keep it together while everything falls apart. It’s a comedy show that proves the only thing more awkward than a midlife crisis is trying to laugh about it.

An Audience with Lord Ian Botham

Lord Ian Botham, the former England captain, was one of the most impactful all-rounders of his generation with 14 centuries and 383 wickets in a career that spanned over 15 years.

The 1981 Ashes, which England won 3-1, have since come to be known as Botham’s Ashes for his starring performances with bat and ball. In 2007, Botham was knighted for his services to cricket and to charity. Prolific with both bat and ball, Ian Botham was the fastest to the double of 1000 runs and 100 wickets. He broke the World Record for most Test wickets, and finished his career with 5,200 runs and 383 wickets. Join Lord Ian, as he discusses his amazing career, and everything in between.

Blame it on the Bucky, By Jerry Taylor

Fresh off the back of a five-star tour, Jerry Taylor’s Blame it on the Bucky is back, bigger and better! Get ready for a hilarious night of comedy, as the McCluckie family frantically search for their granny’s missing corpse on the morning of the funeral. With the men too hungover to remember a daughter in labour, and a very angry wife, absolute chaos ensues. Will they find granny before the baby is born and re unite as a family, or as always, will the men just Blame this one on the Bucky? This uproarious comedy will have you laughing until your waters break and crying like a newborn baby. ***** Jerry Taylor has written an absolute cracker- Matt Costello (Still Game). ***** This play has the potential to become one of Scotland’s classics.
