ORGANISERS of next year's Whyte & Mackay Glasgow International Comedy Festival are promising a great line up of stand up, sketches, plays, improv, films and kids shows.

GICF will present the pick of Scotland’s home grown talent in March, including Jerry Sadowitz, Janey Godley and Larry Dean; alongside celebrated comedians from further afield, with Julian Clary, Reginald D Hunter, Rich Hall, Al Murray, Foil, Arms & Hogg, and Tiff Stevenson all set to appear.

The festival is a long-established highlight of the city’s cultural calendar, packing out venues across Glasgow every year.

The full programme will be launched at The Stand Comedy Club in Glasgow next year. A London launch takes place on Burns Night later in January at the Leicester Square Theatre.
