Comedy

Join Gary Faulds, the Glaswegian comedian who’s survived every type of life crisis imaginable, in Panic At The Midlife Disco. With his kids getting older and the looming reality of mortality getting closer, Gary’s having a hilarious meltdown – and you’re invited to the party. From desperate attempts to stay “cool” with his kids to grappling with his rapidly growing waistline and crumbling youth, Gary’s journey through midlife is anything but graceful. Expect gut busting stories, sharp wit and a brutally honest look at the chaos of growing up, getting old and trying to keep it together while everything falls apart. It’s a comedy show that proves the only thing more awkward than a midlife crisis is trying to laugh about it. **Doors open:** 19:00
