Comedian Stuart brings smash hit show to town
Following the runaway success of his 2016 Fringe debut Dealt a Bad Hand, BBC Radio Scotland’s Breaking the News panellist Stuart Mitchell brings his criticallyacclaimed show to East Kilbride Arts Centre.
Stuart, of Uddingston, has been described a comedian “worth catching before he becomes mega” by our sister paper The Sunday Mail.
From tragic accidents and medical complications to losing both parents, this debut is a hilarious take on dealing with life’s misfortunes and coming out the other end unscathed.
The start of 2017 saw Stuart touring Australia as part of the Best of the Fest lineup, and he has also recently supported Stewart Francis and Hal Cruttenden on their national tours.
He has very quickly become one of the most exciting talents in recent years, performing across the biggest comedy clubs in the UK, including the world-famous Comedy Store.
He has also recently performed in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York where he caught the eye of Hollywood megastar Will Ferrell.
And Ferrell himself said: “Please go and see Stuart Mitchell!”
Stuart’s sharp one-liners, brilliant turn of phrase and clever wordplay have made him a perfect choice for regular appearances on BBC Radio Scotland’s comedy panel show Breaking the News and TV appearances on this year’s The Workplace (CBBC) and On The Road With Fred Macaulay on BBC One Scotland.
He has also written for Mock the Week,The News Quiz and is now working with BBC Comedy, on a scripted development project.
When Stuart is not doing comedy he works for the Sue Ryder charity, who provide incredible hospice and neurological care for people facing a frightening, life-changing diagnosis.
A former University of Stirling student, he was the only student outside Oxford or Cambridge to be offered a prestigious placement at HM Treasury in 2002.
Aged 18, he was the youngest ever person to work in Whitehall as a junior economist.
