The doors open at 7.30pm for an 8pm start. The evening is open to all, but Trust members will benefit from half price entry at just £4. Tickets will be on sale before the games against Hibs and Aberdeen in the Cooper Suite, from board members and online here.
This is a new venture for the Trust and a break from the usual football related activity.
The line up will include Glaswegian comic Bruce Morton, who has been on the comedy scene since 1988, when he won the first ever ‘So You Think You’re Funny?’ new act competition at the Edinburgh Fringe. He was also one of the founders of the Funny Farm Comedy Collective in 1989, which helped start the stand-up scene in Scotland.
He was nominated for the Perrier award for his show ‘Sun’ and even landed his own four-part Channel 4 series, of the same name, each episode comprising a stand-up routine loosely themed around one of the deadly sins.
Phil Differ will also be there. He is a comedy writer, director and producer for stage, screen and radio. Chewin’ the Fat, Watson’s Wind Up and Only An Excuse? are amongst his many credits. He is also an occasional columnist, feature and travel writer. Phil made the move from behind the scenes to the full glare of stand up comedy four years ago and has been performing regularly throughout Scotland ever since.
'Well fans having a laugh
Finally, there is the legend in his own liquid lunchtime, Bob ‘The Gob’ Doolally. One of the most original and unique character comedy acts on the UK stage and screen. A retired football manager and ex-player who now hacks out a living as an after-dinner speaker and third-rate media pundit, Bob has been lauded by both the public and the press alike.
Bob will recall his footballing career in all its gory detail; the endless celebs he played for and managed, the numerous fights and on-pitch debacles, the six marriages to small town beauty queens, Tennent’s LagerLovelies and C-list wannbes.
