'We really wanted to push the boat out a bit more on this latest show'. We speak to the sketch duo ahead of their two shows at Glasgow Comedy Festival
Kelly McCaughan: Catholic Guilt
This full bore counter-ritual of a one-woman show is something of a revelation
David O'Doherty: Tiny Piano Man
Fresh and funny examination of life's absurdities
Michelle Brasier: Reform
Sharp, relevant, hysterically funny musical comedy from Aussie Brasier
This Isn't Working
Sketch show superbly captures the absurdity of job hunting
Sigmund the Viking: Valhalla Calling
Not the barrel of laughs that it could be, but Sigmund the Viking's performance has its moments and for the right crowd can prove to be a riot.
Troll
A funny, strange, and heartwarming hour of clowning that rewrites history in the name of the troll
Best in Class
Terrific cause and a terrific showcase for new talent
Siân Docksey
Pole Yourself Together!
Docksey's ability to switch in a blink from physical spectacular to farcical slapstick, from hot to hokey, is honestly breathtaking
Leila Navabi: Composition
A masterful, emotional, and awesomely funny punk cabaret from the incredible Welsh comedian
Will Pickvance: First Piano on the Moon (Revisited)
Ebullient children's theatre that touches hearts, whatever their age
