The award-winning comedian Rosco McClelland is bringing his new show Sudden Death to Number 57 in Dundee.
Rosco McClelland is a multi-award winning, critically acclaimed Glaswegian comedian who has made multiple TV and radio appearances, including in BBC Scotland's Breaking the News, Up For It, Scot Squad and STV's The Late Show, and has performed across the planet from Canada to Australia. Crowned Scottish Comedian of the Year in 2016 and best MC at the 2020 Scottish Comedy Awards, McClelland has an endearing onstage presence and naturally humorous delivery that has impressed judges and audiences alike. His surreal observations and love of a tangent suit his anecdotal, storytelling style perfectly, giving the show its lighter moments and absurd touches, contrasting with the shades of darkness also present.
"A gifted storyteller, with great stage presence and, of course, fantastic gags. His informal, chatty style makes for an exciting show." – Ed Fest Magazine
“Endearing, slightly shambolic delivery style... certainly knows where to find the funny” ★★★★ - One4Review
“McClelland is an energetic, physical performer. The energy rarely dips, even during moments of genuine sentiment” – The Wee Review
“Unquestionable shades of Billy Connolly” - Chortle
“McClelland's gravelly and animated onstage presence emitted continuous laughter from the audience" – The Skinny
Support act TBA
**PLEASE READ CAREFULLY**
• Tickets can be refunded or exchanged no less than 24 hours before the show.
• Line-ups can be subject to change at short notice.
• The show is in two parts separated by an interval. Doors open at 7pm, one hour before the start time of 8pm. Please arrive before the show starts but not before 7pm. Attendees who arrive late will not be granted admission or a refund.
• This is NOT a standing event. All audience members must be seated while the performance is underway, unless ordering at the bar or using the toilets. When ordering at the bar, please whisper.
• Entrance and exit is via the side door only; please wait outside at the door for ticket check and to be seated by the doorman.
• You will probably have to share a table. You may not be able to sit together if the remaining chairs available are spread out. If you are particular about seating we recommend arriving as early as possible.
• Seats in the front half of the room must be filled before seating in the back half is allocated.
• Seating in the alcove at the back is reserved for the comedians and their guests only.
• Don’t talk or heckle during the performances. This rule is NOT optional. It is very distracting for both the performer and other audience members. Some performers (usually the host) might talk to the audience, but otherwise please let the comedians do the talking. Heckling does not ‘help the show’. Think of it like cinema rules: laughter, cheers, applause are all great, but talking or yelling out is not. And another cinema rule…
• Please put your phone on silent. Photos are fine but please no video or flash photography.
• If your chair is not facing the stage when you come in, please rotate it when the show starts.
• These shows are for people aged 18 and over. Due to licencing 17 year olds can attend accompanied by a parent or guardian, but we cannot allow entry to those aged 16 and under, accompanied or not. You may be asked to show ID if you do not look of age.
• Comedy Dundee does not necessarily agree or disagree with the opinions and viewpoints expressed by the comedians. Acts are booked based on their ability to make people laugh, beyond that we respect freedom of expression. If you disagree or are offended by what you hear, you are free to express this by not laughing, by leaving, or by respectfully raising your objections with the act after the show or via social media. You may not interrupt an on-going performance.
• Audience members who repeatedly break these rules will be asked to leave.
