A legendary double-bill! Witness comedy royalty as Jack Dee celebrates 40 years in stand-up, revisiting his favorite classic stories and influences in his Joke Show. Then, journey to the Shetlands with Marjolein Robertson’s Clouds, a spellbinding work-in-progress blend of surreal storytelling, folklore, and fiddle tunes.
A show by Jack about jokes. Who doesn’t like jokes? If your answer to that question is “Me!” then steer well clear of this show.
Celebrating 40 years in standup comedy, Jack takes us on a memoir of all his favourite old stories. Jokes and funny anecdotes have intrigued Jack for as long as he can remember.
Now he has assembled the best of them to form a new show that offers a glimpse of the influences that led him into and helped shape his comedy career.
Guaranteed no new material.
Shetland comedian Marjolein has been mixing folklore and stand-up for years and she's not going to stop. But she’s doing a work-in-progress show this year to have a big think. Come along and join for stories, jokes and fiddle tunes.
Marjolein was a finalist in Channel 4’s Sean Lock Comedy Award and BBC New Comedy Awards, and she was shortlisted for the prestigious Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award.
