Cowal Comedy Club presents Darren Connell & Friends

The best of Scottish comedy is coming to Dunoon!

An outstanding line up of talent is coming to Dunoon on Friday 9th May, as Cowal Comedy Club presents a night of laughter to raise funds for Dunoon Burgh Hall.

Headlining on the night is Glaswegian comedian Darren Connell. Best known as loveable cult icon Bobby from BBC’s Scots Squad (for which he was nominated for a BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award), Darren is one of the best and most unique acts on the Scottish circuit and recently headlined the King’s Theatre in Glasgow. In a review of the show the Scotsman said: “Connell’s timing is spot on… his observational humour is both sharp and relatable, leaving the audience in fits of laughter.”   We’re delighted to be bringing a comedian of Darren’s calibre to Dunoon.

The line-up also includes opener Jay Lynch,  one of Ireland’s finest exports who has made a name for himself on the Glasgow circuit with regular performances at The Stand and other top comedy clubs (“Big laughs big energy.”- The Stand). We have also hand picked two of the best up-and-coming acts in Scotland,  Jack Brookmyre (shortlisted for BBC New Comedian of the Year 2024) and Beth Knight (“This show is an example of why the Fringe is wonderful” One4Review).

The host for the evening will be Dunoon’s own Roddy Gordon, who is resident compere at Blackfriars Comedy Club in Glasgow and was nominated for the Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award as part of Glasgow International Comedy Festival 2024.

All proceeds from this event will help keep Dunoon Burgh Hall open, so why not come out for a laugh and support your local arts venue?
