A GICF 2026 Show
There'll be little silence and neither of them are lambs, but there are quite possibly some psychological issues at play. Join Hannah Venters and Billy Bremner for their split-bill GICF 2026 show as they open up on some of the less-often admitted aspects of being human. If you enjoy laughing at the absurdities that life often creates, even in the most trying moments, then this might be the show for you.
One thing's for sure, there will be a few things you may never think the same way about ever again! The jokes have some bite, you probably won't be eaten. Still, the experience might just leave you in bits.

Dru Cripps: Juicy Bits
Tuesday 17th March 2026
Committee Room No9, 18 John Street, Glasgow, G1 1JQ.
Doors 17:50 Show 18:00
A GICF 2026 Show
“Master clown” Dru Cripps presents his phenomenally successful loopstation-based shenanigans – a show so good it earned five 5-star reviews and sold out Edinburgh completely. “No wonder it keeps selling out.”
This quadruple award-winner (British Comedy Guide, Malcolm Hardee, Comedy Store King Gong, Solo FX Sponsorship) and BBC New Comedian of the Year nominee uses questionable musical abilities and dangerous levels of confidence. Armed with his trusty loopstation, he transforms audience suggestions into improvised songs, spontaneous musical sketches, and “utterly winning” chaos in real-time.
As seen on BBC, ITV and Dave, Dru was nominated for Edinburgh Fringe Comedian of the Year for this show that leaves audiences “rolling in the aisles laughing”. It really has to be seen to be misunderstood.
Every performance is completely different. Every audience becomes part of the beautiful musical carnage.
★★★★★ ‘Laughing at everything and anything he said (Three Weeks)

Specs, Fudge and Toilet Rolls
Sunday 22nd March 2026
Committee Room No9, 18 John Street, Glasgow, G1 1JQ
Doors 16:50 Show 17:00
A GICF 2026 Show
Three awesome
comedians. Three
different styles. An unmissable hour of laughter.
This split bill brings together Graham McGregor, Ray Fordyce and Stevie Wicks for an hour packed with playful punchlines, whimsical wit, and surreal stories.
This eccentric trio discuss the absurdities of life, gaming and human behaviour. Each performer brings a different flavour. They deliver a show that’s fast paced, fearless and… Well, unhinged, (or, maybe just “well unhinged”). Sharp observations, offbeat absurdity and self deprecating charm, awaits you.
Expect belly laughs, breathtaking gags (of the comedy kind!), and comic oversharing.
Perfect for comedy fans who like variety, energy and a good dose of chaos.
Come for the jokes-stay for the glorious volatility.
Adi Parmar: Sunny Boy
Sunday 22nd March 2026
Committee Room No9, 18 John Street, Glasgow, G1 1JQ
Doors 18:20 Show 18:30
A GICF 2026 Show
Born in India in the 90s, Adi Parmar (gay) did not imagine that he will be writing this blurb about his debut comedy show one day. And today, as he writes it, he is wondering if he should say something like, ‘this show cannot be described with one word’ (pretentious) or ‘this show is about fatherhood’ (mundane, not ENTIRELY true). Instead, he is asking the question,
Is fatherhood real or is it a lie made up by BIG childhood to sell MORE therapy?
Join Adi Parmar, as he recalls his unforgettable childhood in North India (India) and processes it through his unexpected fatherhood in North Holland (Netherlands) and makes sense of it all through the best medicine there is: Laughter (hahaha).

“It Should Have Been Me” is Libby Bingham’s brand-new hour of storytelling stand-up. A fast, funny and painfully relatable deep-dive into life’s near misses, wrong turns and cosmic injustices.
With razor-sharp wit and a knack for finding humour in heartbreak, Libby unpacks the people, places and petty grudges that have shaped her and everything that should have been hers.
It’s bold, personal and wickedly funny. Delivered with the kind of charm that makes audiences laugh, wince and mutter “same”
