Glasgow: Scottish Comedy in an atmospheric Scottish venue!

If you’re after a fun evening that combines authentic Scottish humor with a cozy, intimate setting, this comedy show in Glasgow might just be your perfect pick. While I haven’t experienced it firsthand, the glowing reviews and detailed descriptions make it clear that this is a lively, reasonably priced night out that packs a punch in entertainment value.

One thing we really love about this experience is the value for money—pay no more than £10 for a show featuring at least four comedians plus a host. That’s a pretty solid deal, especially considering the quality of performers you can expect. We also appreciate how the venue adds to the charm; it’s a small, atmospheric space that makes you feel right in the middle of Scottish humor, rather than just watching from a distance.

A potential consideration is the venue’s accessibility—it involves going down one flight of stairs behind a secret entrance, which could be a hurdle for some. Plus, the show is only for those aged 18 and over, so it’s not suitable for families or younger audiences. Still, if you’re seeking a relaxed, local-style evening with a taste of Scottish comedy, this experience is likely to hit the right note.

This tour is best suited for adults who enjoy stand-up comedy, appreciate an authentic local vibe, and aren’t overly concerned with large crowds or formal venues. It’s perfect for solo travelers, couples, or small groups looking for a genuine Scottish night out.

An In-Depth Look at the Experience

If you’re craving a night filled with laughter in Glasgow, this comedy show offered by Good Egg Comedy seems like a solid choice. The venue is described as an atmospheric Scottish pub located on Sandyford Place, close to Sauchiehall Street — a lively area lined with bars and shops. Being in such a central location means you can combine your comedy night with a nearby meal or a drink beforehand, which is always a bonus.

The Venue & Atmosphere

The venue itself is intimate—only around 40 seats—creating a friendly, unpretentious vibe that’s perfect for enjoying comedy. The small size allows the performers to connect directly with the audience, which often results in more engaging, spontaneous humor. The bar is open from 12 pm, so you can arrive early and settle in with a drink, setting the mood for the evening.

However, accessibility is limited because to reach the comedy room, you need to go down one flight of stairs behind a “secret” entrance. This might be a dealbreaker for some, especially those with mobility issues. The venue isn’t wheelchair accessible, so if that’s a concern, it’s worth considering.

The Comedy Lineup

What really sets this experience apart is the fresh line-up of comedians. The show features four acts, including at least one headline comedian, known within the Scottish comedy scene. While the specific performers can vary, reviews highlight that the comedians are award-winning or well-regarded locally, so you’re likely to see talented, funny people.

The show is hosted by experienced compères—Ross Leslie or Chris Thorburn—who keep things flowing smoothly and add to the jovial atmosphere. Expect two breaks during the show, giving you a chance to stretch, grab a drink, or chat about what you’ve just seen.

The Schedule & Practical Details

The show runs for approximately 2.5 hours, starting around 8 pm, with entry into the comedy room beginning at around 7.45 pm. It concludes around 10:30 pm, which makes it a perfect early evening plan or a standalone night activity.

The show is tailored for adults, with all performances for those aged 18 and over. Tickets are limited, so booking in advance is recommended to secure your spot. The venue recommends arriving by 6:30 pm if you’ve purchased food tickets, but the show itself starts a bit later, giving you time to enjoy the pub atmosphere beforehand.
