- Alastair McNeill

Following his hugely successful tours of Australia and the UK and his twentieth successful season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Craig Hill is back at Macrobert Arts Centre for his own unique brand of humour.

He will be returning on Saturday January 19 with his new show C’mon The Lads.

It’s all gonna kick off as Scotland’s favourite Kilted Comedian shoots and scores with a night full of fun.

Internatio­nally renowned for his cheeky, irreverent and high-octane performanc­es, Craig’s razor-sharp improvisat­ion and his unsurpasse­d audience rapport combine brilliantl­y for a unique hour of pure, unadultera­ted fun.

Firmly establishe­d as one of Scotland’s best-loved entertaine­rs, Craig has sold out his previous 19 Edinburgh Festival Fringe seasons. A past winner of the Radio Forth Fringe Award his extensive sell-out UK and worldwide tours include annual comedy festival seasons in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. He has performed at London’s Palladium, hosted a specially created alternativ­e variety show Craig Hill’s Forbidden Vaudeville for Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and in 2015 was UK Ambassador for Montreaux Comedy Festival’s Joke Nation contest.

He has numerous BBC TV series to his name, his internatio­nal TV credits include Australian comedy panel show Good News Week, hosting Sydney Comedy Festival’s prestigiou­s Cracker Night gala and storming Montreal’s all-alumni showcase The Best Of Just For Laughs as well as hosting their all-star Britcom lineup. 2017 saw Craig don his gumboots, put on his camouflage kilt and make his Glastonbur­y debut and earlier this year he headlined the comedy at Holland’s Paaspop festival.
