On Mondays 16th and 23rd March Tennent’s Laughter Lounge presents a special edition stand-up comedy open mic at Tennent’s Bar as part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival 2026. Featuring a mix of exciting new faces cutting their teeth and veterans trying new material, it’s always fun and totally free of charge.
Your host will be Tennent’s Laughter Lounge founder and resident compere Paddy Linton. His impressive stand-up skills have fast become highly in demand at some of the best comedy shows in the country. In March 2025 he was chosen to open for Darren Connell at Glasgow’s legendary King’s Theatre. He’s also been support act of choice for Mark Black and Gary Faulds.
"He went up and smashed it... it was genuinely exciting watching him from the back and it made me remember why I love this." - Darren Connell
“Instantly likeable and effortlessly funny.” – Comedy Dundee
“Got people on side immediately” – The Stand
Just want to watch? All are welcome free of charge, but please respect the show: during performances please be seated and don’t talk or heckle.
