Madeleine Brettingham: Work In Progress

Tickets for this show must be purchased directly from the Glasgow International Comedy Festival website HERE

Madeleine Brettingham is a writer and rising star on the stand-up circuit, who’s recently scooped a string of competition wins including winning the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny 2025 and taking silver in Funny Women in the same year, a unique double. Join her at GICF to see her work in progress of her debut show and her first time in front of Glasgow audiences.

She’s been praised for her “distinctive worldview” (Chortle), “tight and gag-packed” writing (Bruce Dessau), and “knack for blending offbeat observations with pacey, unexpected punchlines” (The List). “A suffer-no-fools attitude that own the stage, a formidable gag rate and a precision with language that conjures up the perfect images” – Chortle
