RUBY, RUBY, RUBY, RUBY!

Fresh from the jungle and heading to the King’s Theatre! It’s almost easier to say whom Ruby Wax DIDN’T meet, interview and coax fascinating insights from in her huge TV shows ‘Ruby Wax Meets’ and ‘Full Wax’. Donald Trump, OJ Simpson, Pamala Anderson, Madonna and many more.

Her provocative, abrasive, incomparable style was – just about – kept in check by lifelong friend and A-list producer, Clive Tulloh. Together live on stage they review clips from the extraordinary shows, tell scandalous stories never before heard – and take the audience along for the ride.

LIKE YOUR COMEDY, HOMEGROWN?

Glasgow’s own Scott Agnew is back with another plateful! Two time Billy Connolly Award nominee. As seen on BBC Scotland and heard on BBC Radio 4. He will regale you with further tales of battling back from the dead – stayin’ alive isn’t as easy as you’d think. More medical mishaps and middle aged moaning – he’s 45 years old, 90 seems a bit hopeful.

“A comedic thrill ride, searingly honest, exploding with humanity, laugh out loud funny from beginning to end.” Scotsman

Join GICF’s First Time Funnies Alumni, Ifrah Qureshi reads the ruthless manual “The 48 Laws of Power” and applies it to the one place it was never designed for: everyday life.
