Spring in Glasgow: March
February 8th, 2008 Posted in Glasgow, ScotlandThe month of March in Glasgow is known for one thing and one thing only: the Glasgow International Comedy Festival. For one month, from the sixth through the twenty-third, laughter is heard all throughout the city.
The festival began in 2002 and has been growing every since. The festival showcases comedic talent from all around the world. There are 350 shows at 40 venues. Barely under 100,000 tickets will be sold (right at 99,000) for this year’s festival.
There is plenty of good and bad talent there, as well as well-known and hardly known talent there, as well. You can enjoy plenty of stand-up comedy, children’s shows, or even some comedy-on-the-move.
Comedy-on-the-move sets include different kinds of comedy sets but are essentially comedy tours. These tours tend to start out at one location, or tavern, and lead the entire crowd from location to location. There is much to enjoy at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
