Scotland Gigs 23rd and 24th February
I have two gigs in Glasgow on the last week on February. Here are the details:
Monday 23rd February
The Glasgow Slam
Rio Cafe Glasgow
27 Hyndland Street
Glasgow
G11 5PT
I am doing a ten-minute spot here with Robin Cairns as compere. For poetry that's intense, dark and funny, you could do a lot worse...
Tuesday 24th February
Red Raw
The Stand Comedy Club Glasgow
333 Woodlands Road
Glasgow
G3 6NG
Doing comedy in this place and will need all the support I can muster. I have only been to this club once and the place is a literal bearpit. Comedian Sean Collins recalls doing a gig in Glasgow(it may well have been here) and points out that if you are good you don't need to deal with the hecklers - the audience do it for you. Some guy was repeatedly interrupting him and then this X-Man large Scotsman stood up and told the heckler "Listen, man, he's fucking funny so shut your mouth!" then turned round to Sean and went "Carry on." Oh my, I hate to think what they do to you when you're not so good...at any rate I will be taking the stage there come what may.
See you soon,
Alain
