Gary’s hittin’ the big time in Hamilton

Big show for Glasgow comic

- Stefanie Mccourt

Up-and-coming comedian Gary Faulds is preparing for his biggest audience yet, after tickets went on sale for his show at Hamilton Town House.

The Glasweigan comic is popular among Lanarkshir­e audiences, having recently shared the stage with Jo Caulfield at Lanark Memorial Hall, and taken centre stage at East Kilbride Arts Centre.

His latest show – Gary Faulds Live! – will be hosted at the Town House on Saturday, February 9, 2019.

It will be a return to Hamilton for Gary, who performed in the town last year, and amidst a tour which has sold out four Glasgow Comedy Festivals and various theatres all over the UK.

The father-of-five has had audiences in stitches by hilariousl­y examining his boozy life before meeting his wife, Ashley, and settling down.

Stories Glasgow, of growing up in coupled with his marriage and family life, are delivered with a rapid fire of punchlines by the former soldier.

Gary said: “Well, 2018 has been nuts. I’ve went from gigging in the back room of a pub to selling out five theatres, the country’s best comedy club, the country’s biggest comedy club and a tour of Cyprus.

“The dream is well and truly alive thanks to all of you. Two million of you watch my Facebook live videos every month, and it’s time I stepped up the game.

“2019 will be as eventful and nuts as this year, only things will be bigger and better.

“I’ve gone from being a nobody to getting free pakora, clothes and haircuts for life.

“At my first theatre show a woman fainted, don’t worry her pals dragged her out the room and came back in to enjoy the show – true story.

“Not only would you be contributi­ng to my dream, you will get a great night of comedy.”

Strictly over-18s. Tickets cost £15 and are available at www.sllcboxoff­ice.co.uk
