Maisie Adam said “I'm so excited to head back to Scotland for The Big Fab Comedy Show this year and play some shows in places I've never been to before! I always love any chance I get to play in Scotland and these shows have a brilliant line-up so I can't wait to get out on the road and perform some new material. See you there!”
Larry Dean said: “Buzzin for this tour! On with very funny comedians at lovely venues, and most of the gigs are only an hour away from home. Ideal!”
Fred MacAulay said: “It's great to be heading out on the road with some brilliant comics this spring for The Big Fab Comedy Show. I'm particularly looking forward to playing a gig just down the road from me in Glasgow before we head north to Stirling and Inverness - the shows are guaranteed to give you a good laugh so I'll see you there!”
This March, Jay Lafferty will host shows in Dunfermline, Edinburgh, Ayr, Dundee and Aberdeen, following a five-star Fringe 2023 run. Jay will be joined by headliner Maisie Adam, one of the UK’s biggest TV comics and frequent star of Live at The Apollo, A League of their Own and Mock The Week, plus top Scottish comedians Marc Jennings, Susan Riddell, Mark Black and Irish comic Eleanor Tiernan for a night of non-stop laughs.
