A record of achievement

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


In just five years
the Stand Comedy Club went gone from a small voluntary organisation run by a group of enthusiasts to a successful commercial enterprise which is the flagship for a significant new strand in contemporary Scottish culture. In the five years since this has been consolidated and built upon. Its achievements include:
  • The micProviding a consistently high quality form of live entertainment which is not available anywhere else in central Scotland outwith the Edinburgh festival and the Glasgow International Comedy Festival. It offers growing audiences variety and value with prices ranging from £1 to £12 and usually four or more performers on a bill.
  • In particular, it caters for the 25-55 year old section of the population, with an art form which is intelligent, interactive, and inexpensive.
  • Creating the opportunity for a distinctive Scottish voice to emerge in contemporary stand-up comedy, reflecting and contributing to our particular cultural and historical characteristics.
  • Developing new local talent, always including a beginner’s spot on every bill, and at times running a series of classes for those wanting to try their hand at performing.
  • Providing an attractive entertainment alternative for visitors to the Scotland adding another string to the tourist bow of our two major cities. We estimate that around one quarter of our audience comes from outside central Scotland.
  • Working with other - less regular - clubs throughout Scotland to create a performance network which has created the option for performers to work professionally and continue to live in Scotland, rather than being obliged, as many were in the past been, to move to London.
