Last rib-ticklers for comedy crowd
The Garage is going all barn dance on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights for a reprisal of Rich Hall’s Hoedown, with the American star appearing for a mash-up of music and comedy, accompanied by his regular band of “talented and chronically unemployable urchins”.
The blurb promises that “the floor will reek of liquor and spent dreams” — and somehow, that sounds alright by us.

Sadowitz’s Comedian, Magician, Psychopath! promises plenty of bad language and less-than-PC musings — but there’s also plenty of sleight of hand tricks to distract the easily offended.
From there, there are laughs aplenty from the likes of Omid Djalili, Rory Bremner, Susan Calman, Des Clarke, Miles Jupp and Sarah Millican.
The final throes of the festival are piped in by Glasgow comedy scene stalwart Craig Hill and his show Tartan About!
