In 2022 Veteran Scottish stand-up comedian Fred MacAulay hit the road again with a summer tour of 18 venues around Scotland ahead of his run at Edinburgh Fringe in August.
Stand-up comedy had been hit pretty hard by the pandemic and gigs were cancelled as soon as the country went into Lockdown. The return of audiences to theatres and Stand-Up venues was a delight to see.
Fred said “I was so pleased to see so many people coming to those shows in 2022 – especially the venues which sold out! I’ve been very fortunate in my career and have done a lot of radio and television shows over the years... but what I absolutely love more than anything (about my job) is standing on stage and making a room full of people hoot with laughter... especially in Scotland”.
So... there was only one thing for it. Get back out in 2023 and get to some of the places Fred hadn’t been to in 2022 with an updated show.
Expect to hear more tales of Lockdown weddings, gags about complying with the regulations, getting back to work after a long lay-off, things that bound us together... (like finding out that your bottle bins were too small), the tribulations of getting a train ticket refund, nuisance phone calls... and... OH YES... becoming a grandparent for the first time!
Still regarded as one of the top Scottish comics of his generation
