The nights are getting darker earlier, the weather is changing (for the most part) and the inevitable trudge to the Christmas season is nearly upon us.
But thankfully, for those of you who have some spare time before the Christmas rush, there’s a number of comedy tours set to take place in Scotland before the end of the year, from personalities many are familiar with through their TV appearances to others who have cut their teeth on the Edinburgh Fringe circuit.
We’ve picked 15 shows that still have tickets available through Ticketmaster, and are taking place later in the year to allow you to prepare for your evening of comedy.
That means despite Sarah Millican coming to the area from today, she’s not made the list - though if you want a last minute ticket to see her perform, you’d better hurry fast!
13. Jason Manford
Jason Manford is set for two shows in Scotland before the end of 2024, performing at the Edinburgh Playhouse on November 24 and then the SEC Armadillo in Glasgow on November 26 2024. | Provided
14. Lucy Beaumont
Nominated for the Edinburgh Fringe award in 2014 for her show “We Can Twerk It Out,” Lucy Beaumont is set for three dates in Scotland before the end of the year - at Carnegie Hall in Dunfermline on November 28, the Tivoli Theatre in Aberdeen on November 29 and the Whitehall Theatre in Dundee on November 30 2024. | Provided
15. Paddy McGuinness
Paddy McGuinness’ “Nearly There” tour does indeed get “there” - being Scotland on this occasion.
