Comedian Gary Meikle set for Livingston stage
Following a 2019 sell-out UK tour, award winning Scottish stand-up comedian and viral sensation, Gary Meikle, has announced he’ll be returning to stages with a brandnew tour across the UK in 2020.
Called ‘Surreal’, the title perfectly describes Gary’s last 12 months, having started the year performing in comedy clubs, launching online videos and ending it selling out theatres across the globe.
His UK tour will span the UK for 42 dates including a performance at London’s Leicester Square Theatre on Saturday, September 19, before he travels across the pond to perform in the US and Canada, with 2020 European dates lined up too.
And he’s set to appear at Howden Park Centre in Livingston on Thursday, June 18.
Gary said he is still adjusting to his success but said he is looking forward to getting back on the stage.
He added: “2019 has been such a surreal year for me since the videos took off, and I’m excited to get back to stand up with this new 2020 tour and to tell audiences about how I’ve been dealing with all the madness – from women sending me countless pictures of their foreheads thinking I’m some sort of eyebrow connoisseur, to being stopped in the streets.”
Not one for mincing his words, Gary has been described as ‘playfully dark’.
His cheeky chappy nature and ability to get away with talking about anything will have the audience laughing at things you probably shouldn’t.
As always, Gary will draw material from his own reallife experiences, including his unique family dynamic and his rapid rise to online fame.
Quickly putting his audiences at ease, a night of stand up with Gary feels like a night in the pub chatting with friends.
Having performed to tens of thousands of people over the past year, Gary has found a new confidence and level of openness on stage, meaning he doesn’t hold back on giving his opinions, no matter how warped.
He has been on the comedy circuit as a stand-up since 2014, and more recently has rocketed to fame becoming known internationally for his viral social media video rants which have had over 150 million views and counting.
Gary has been was named at the top of The List’s ‘Comedy Hot 100’ for 2019.
Still living in Glasgow, Gary has built a global audience (35 per cent in the US) over the last few years, and has therefore taken his show “The iBrow Guy” around the world including the US, Canada, Dubai and Europe. Most notably, he performed a sell-out show at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall with a capacity of 2000, with all proceeds raised going to the charity Ronald McDonald House.
