A Very Important Panel Show: Commonwealth Games Special

Join comedian Kate Hammer and friends for a special Commonwealth edition of the Very Important Panel Show! Kate tests four hilarious comedians on their ‘common’ knowledge and ability to keep up as the show descends into glorious chaos.

With topical news, history, music, and the legendary blender round all making an appearance, our guests will have to fight their colleagues with wit and grace to take home the prize. The audience will also have chances to win prizes and show off how much more they know than the comedians, so who takes home the ultimate prize is anyone’s game. The points don’t matter, but winning absolutely does. Brought to you with thanks to Glasgow International Comedy Festival, Commonwealth Games, and Glasgow life.

The Glasgow 2026 Festival is proud to be supporting the Glasgow International Comedy Festival with the Commonwealth themed staging of A Very Important Panel Show on Saturday 14 March.

The Glasgow 2026 Festival has been designed to complement the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, activating the city through culture and sport and inviting everyone to get involved.

Developed and delivered by Glasgow Life on behalf of Glasgow 2026, the Glasgow 2026 Festival will feature altogether brilliant creative projects, family-friendly events and community activities, creating opportunities for people to gather, celebrate sporting endeavour and explore the culture, creativity and heritage of communities around the Commonwealth.
