‘Ed Patrick displayed some masterful, often playfully provocative writing that took the audience in directions they didn’t expect….genius lines. An assured set from a young comic with an inventive mind.’  Steve Bennett, Chortle.

Headliner – Keir McAllister

Keir’s first gig saw him enter a comedy competition in Dundee, and ended up playing to 1000 punters at the final in London.

He has now gigged all over Scotland and can often be seen at The Stand, HaHa Comedy and The Last Laugh Comedy Clubs. He is also a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe and Glasgow Comedy Festivals, appearing in shows such as Rehab’s For Quitters (with comedy partner Paul Pirie), Four Men And A Little Lady and the Stand’s own consistent sell-out Best Of Scottish Comedy.

He has also been a regular guest on Radio Scotland’s Karen Dunbar’s Summer Supplement and was recently asked to write a stand-up script for Kate Lawler for a reality TV show. Keir is also a playwright whose first play, Falling for Grace, saw critical success and a full Fringe run while his second, Death of a Critic, is touring.
