Welcome to our new website and the full Glasgow International Comedy Festival programme...

2012 is a bit of a special one as it's our tenth anniversary year, and we have invited some old friends and new faces to celebrate with us. Stars like Michael Winslow and Doug Stanhope from the US, household names like Dara O'Briain and Ardal O'Hanlon, top Scots like Jerry Sadowitz and Rory Bremner, Irish/Australian stand-up superstar Jimeoin, and kids' favourites Big Howard and Little Howard. There are also plenty of events, workshops and plays to look forward to.

We are really excited to announce that Dorothy Paul and Daniel Sloss will both be doing extra shows at the King's, and we have released extra tickets for both Sarah Millican and Russell Kane. Don't say we're not good to you!

Thanks as ever to our supporters - especially Glasgow City Marketing Bureau and EventScotland - we really couldn't do it without you. Thanks too to our media partners Sunday Herald and Radio Clyde; travel partners United Airlines, Virgin Trains, P&O Ferries and EasyJet; all our hotel partners; DM Hall and our ticketing partner ticketSOUP.com.

So sit back, mouse at the ready, and explore our 2012 programme and fabulous new website. We can't wait to see you in March!
