A detailed look at the comedy experience

The Venue: A cozy, atmospheric Scottish pub

Set on Sandyford Place, just off Sauchiehall Street, the venue is Gael & Grain—an acclaimed Scottish pub renowned for its food and warm ambiance. The comedy room itself is small, with a capacity of roughly 40 guests, which means you’re close enough to feel part of the action. Reviewers have described it as a “little magical comedy room,” highlighting its charm and the intimate setting that amplifies the humor.

While the venue has parking directly outside—usually free in the evenings—it’s worth noting that the comedy room itself isn’t wheelchair accessible. Guests need to go down one flight of stairs through a hidden entrance, which might be a concern for some. Still, the friendly staff are there to assist, and the overall vibe is welcoming and relaxed.

The lineup: Fresh, talented Scottish comedians

The show features a minimum of four acts, plus a host—either Ross Leslie or Chris Thorburn—who keeps the evening flowing smoothly. Guests can expect a mixture of newcomers and award-winning performers, all showcasing the diverse humor found within Scotland’s comedy scene. The line-up is known for being “fresh,” giving attendees a chance to see upcoming talents alongside seasoned performers.

The headline act is chosen from some of the best on the Scottish comedy circuit, promising an evening filled with sharp, relatable humor. Reviewers like Lisa enjoyed the show, noting it as a “VERY fun evening,” while others appreciated the high-quality comedy and the lively atmosphere.

The structure: A relaxed, well-paced evening

Doors typically open from 12 pm for drinks, with the comedy show starting at 8 pm. If you’ve purchased food tickets, arriving by 6:30 pm allows enough time to enjoy some of the pub’s delicious offerings. The host introduces each comedian, and there are two breaks during the show, giving everyone a chance to stretch or grab a refreshment.

The show wraps up around 10:30 pm, leaving enough time to mingle or continue the night with drinks. The bar stays open well past the show, so you can keep the conversation going in a laid-back environment. The timing and relaxed pace make it ideal for those wanting an enjoyable night out without rushing.
