Joe Aitken, Head of Major Events at Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said: “Glaswegians are renowned for their hospitality and good humour so it’s no surprise that we’re home to one of the best comedy festivals in the world, which perfectly encapsulates our city’s personality. Over the years we’ve welcomed some of the biggest – and funniest – comedians to Glasgow and they come back time and again because we’re a city that knows how to put on a show.”
The Glasgow Live International Comedy Festival offers everything from stand up and sketches to drama, film and kids shows. There are shows taking place every day throughout the festival, across over 40 venues throughout the city, with something to suit every taste and pocket.
