Neil Lennon with headliner (and Ibrox season ticket holder) Teddy |
It is not the finest picture in the
world but it is proof of something. Last Saturday former Celtic player
(now a coach) Neil Lennon turned up at Uisge Beatha's Half
Price Comedy Club. The jammy sod didn't even have to pay because one of
his pals one had won 10 free tickets at a previous show.
Trying to ride his pals wave of good luck and win a further ten free tickets Neil entered the prize draw. According to compere Chris Broomfield Neil's prize draw comment card read the following "Table Service would be good & can someone walk me up the road after the gig". Good to see he's still got a sense of humour. This Saturday Janey Godley Headlines. We are almost sold out, so get there early if you wish to join the fun. |

Big
Yin Revisited
2 for 1 offer quote "newsletter" (limited offer) |
A tribute to 70s Billy Connolly. 5 sell out years. |
|
| Do you remember the impact Billy Connolly had back in the 1970s when he first appeared on Parkinson?
Well Clydebank ’s Gary Moir does and he wants you to join him in rekindling the Connolly of old. Moir performs all of his own material however done in the style of the Big Yin himself. It isn’t old rehashed gags it’s the story of Connolly in his hey-day. Just like the Big Yin, Gary Moir is a failed welder and he draws on the spirit and humour of the shipyards to wow audiences with a show Mr Connolly himself would be proud of. As a former winner of ITV’s Stars in Their Eyes – you can be guaranteed Moir’s take of the Big Yin will be spot on whilst the gags are as sharp and fresh as Partick’s favourite son were when he first burst into the big time in the 1970s. Take a trip back to the future and enjoy an unforgettable evening in the stunning surroundings of the Barrowland's Ballroom. WHAT THEY SAY: “The man behind The Big Yin Revisited is certainly the most committed and accurate comedy tribute impressionist I have ever seen. Billy Connolly has to be one of the greatest stand-up comedians on the planet and recreating the style and substance of the Scot is a brave feat indeed. But the Showcall faithful audience howled with laughter and the interest generated by The Big Yin Revisited was sure to considerable.” THE STAGE |

Currently the UK 's most talked about late night comedy show, hosted by the award-winning comic Andrew Maxwell, returns from its roots in London 's premiere comedy venue The Comedy Store to this year's Magners Glasgow International Comedy Festival. Fullmooners has seen Simon Pegg make a return to stand up after 9 years off the circuit likewise Paul Merton's for 6 years, plus a host of top comics including Dara O 'Briain, Paul Merton, Russell Brand, Noel Fielding and Jimmy Carr to name but a few, as well as regular breakdancers and go go girls. Fullmooners always has a very special guest, be it a TV star or an old school comic, and Maxwell conjures up the kind of atmosphere needed to get these guests doing the bizarre and unexpected. The past two Glasgow shows saw Alan Carr & Ed Byrne join the party. Be sure there will be a huge name howl at the moon. Sell-out runs at the Fringe in 2006/7/8 secured this as the must-see late show of the festival and the Fullmooner’s night in Glasgow is no different. Who can argue with a show that throws Jade Goody out of its’ audience? Come Howl at the Moon! WHAT THEY THOUGHT: “Brilliant” Paul Merton “Magical” Noel Fielding “An amazing night” Simon Pegg “Continue to support this great show” Jimmy Carr |
