COMEDY with Susan Morrison, John Scott & Keir McAllister

Whether performing her own solo act or hosting The Stand’s big weekend gigs in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Susan is in a class of her own when it comes to quick-fire wit. Susan mixes real- life experiences, topical observations, audience interaction and Glasgow style storytelling to spellbinding effect. John Scott first hit the stage as a stand up back in 1999 at the Stand Comedy club in Edinburgh. In just three months he was asked to take part in his first Edinburgh festival run in the showcase Stand Up Scotland, a platform for the best new emerging talent. Keir McAllister started stand up in April 2004 when he entered the Dundee heat of the Jongleurs J20 Last Laugh Competition. Despite it being his first ever gig, he won and went on to win the Scottish final and found himself doing his third ever gig to over 1000 people in London’s Criterion Theatre, Piccadilly Circus.
