Join us for a night of stand-up as two rising comedy stars preview their debut shows!

Dean T. Beirne – Fated to Pretend

 

Scottish finalist for the BBC New Comedy Awards 2023 and star of Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy ExtravaganzaDean T. Beirne takes to the stage with his debut hour.

 

Left in foster care as a child, Dean’s life has been a whirlwind of reinvention. From awkward school days to navigating life across continents, he’s spent years pretending to be someone else—anything to fit in. But each new identity pulled him further from who he really was.

 

In Fated to Pretend, Dean peels back the layers of his ever-changing personas, sharing the chaotic, hilarious, and heartwarming moments that shaped him. A laugh-out-loud journey of self-discovery, packed with misfit moments and hard-won revelations.

 

“So likable and funny, a future star.” – Larry Dean

 

“Dean is as assured an act as I’ve seen in years. Great stage presence and wonderful writing.” – Mark Nelson

 

Maria McAveety – A Problem Like Maria

 

One of Scotland’s fastest-rising comedy talents, Maria McAveety makes her debut with a sharp, self-deprecating, and brilliantly relatable show.

 

Fresh from supporting Susie McCabe, Maria takes an honest (and hilarious) look at her life, asking the big question: is she the problem, or is it everyone else? (It’s them.) With whip-smart material and the occasional musical number, Maria is a comedian you won’t want to miss.

 

“A bright and talented comic with a big future.” – Susie McCabe

 

“Fresh and funny material with great musical comedy.” – Des McLean
