Having entertained audiences with their slapstick for over 50 years, Ian and Janette Tough, who last year celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary, have been stalwarts on the cabaret circuit and on television since the 1970s.

The duo have enjoyed a varied career including sold-out residencies at major theatres across the UK, appearances at the Royal Variety Performance and their own television programmes.

And this will be the first time the couple have returned to the iconic Glasgow venue since starring there alongside John Barrowman and David Hasselhoff.
