Welcome from Councillor Frank McAveety
Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau
As the curtain opens on the 14th annual Glasgow International Comedy Festival it provides the
perfect opportunity to reflect on what has become the widely anticipated showpiece at the heart
of the city’s cultural calendar.
Since its inauguration the festival has grown from humble beginnings to become Europe's premier
comedy event; bringing some of the biggest – and funniest – performers in the world to Glasgow
over the years. The calibre of the Festival programme is a strong reflection of why Glasgow enjoys
an enviable worldwide reputation, both for its prominent position on the global comedy scene and as a must-visit
destination. But don’t just take our word for it. Recently Glasgow was named by global travel magazine National
Geographic Traveler as one of its 20 ‘Best of the World’ destinations for 2016.
In 2014, our city was voted ‘World’s Friendliest City’ by travel publication Rough Guides – as Glaswegians continue to
be recognised the world over for their iconic hospitality and good humour. With these credentials it’s no surprise that
we’re home to one of the best comedy festivals in the world. With more than 420 shows across 42 venues over 18
laughter-filled days, I hope everyone who attends the Glasgow International Comedy Festival has a fantastic time.
The See Tickets festival ticket
hotline 0844 873 7353 is open
9am – 9pm seven days a week
and allows you to buy tickets
for most festival shows using
your credit or debit card.
Tickets can also be purchased in
person from some individual
venues. Please note that a
booking fee will usually be
charged with the exception of
most tickets bought in person.
Shows at the King's and Theatre
Royal include a compulsory
£1.25 restoration levy.

Introduction from Linda Allan, Festival Manager
Glasgow International Comedy Festival
0844 873 7353
Welcome to the amazing 14th year of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival!
What a cracking year it is for comedy, with the top household names rubbing shoulders with the very
best up and coming comedy talent. The programme is our most varied to date, spanning everything
from kids comedy shows and films with a comedy commentary to sketches, the best of character comedy and late night
festival clubs. Adam Hills, Russell Kane, Julian Clary, Paul Merton’s Impro Chums, Reginald D Hunter, Jenny Eclair,
Dylan Moran, Omid Djalili, Jerry Sadowitz, Rob Delaney, Frankie Boyle, Shappi Khorsandi and Tom Stade are
some of the top names to look out for joined by a host of Scottish talent including Craig Hill, Fred MacAulay, Daniel Sloss,
Janey Godley, Raymond Mearns and Des Clarke. Comedians will be joining us from the US in America Stands Up and
we’ll have the cream of the Irish crop performing on St Patrick’s Day, not to mention a host of newer talent at venues like
Blackfriars, The Griffin and Yesbar. There’s a venue, a show and a ticket price to suit everyone (some are free) and plenty of
chances to stumble upon the next big thing.
