Saturday Comedy Fest... Live at Dean Castle
A Night of Laughter Under Canvas
Get ready for an unforgettable night of world‑class stand‑up as Scotland’s finest comedians descend on Kilmarnock for a huge evening of laughs — all set inside a spectacular big top in the stunning surroundings of Dean Castle Country Park.
Guiding you through the night is your MC, Billy Kirkwood — the Ayrshire‑born comedy powerhouse and five‑time Scottish Comedy Award winner for Best MC. Fast, fearless and hugely likeable, Billy is one of the UK’s most watchable hosts and the perfect ringmaster for a night under canvas.
Opening the show is JoJo Sutherland, an unstoppable comedy force and Scottish Comedy Award winner for Best Show. Since bursting onto the scene in 2002, her sharp gags and outrageously honest storytelling have taken her from Edinburgh to Australia. Warm, razor‑sharp and effortlessly funny, she gets the laughs rolling fast.
Next up is Al Thompson, a rising star of the Scottish comedy circuit. His smart, relatable material has already caught the attention of BBC Scotland’s Breaking the News, and he’s reached the semi‑finals of the Spirit of Comedy Awards. One to watch — and guaranteed to deliver.
Headlining the night is a true legend of Scottish comedy, Fred MacAulay. From becoming the first ever Scottish compere at the Comedy Store in London to appearing on Have I Got News For You, QI and Mock the Week, Fred’s career speaks for itself. Intelligent, hugely popular and side‑splittingly funny, he’s the perfect headline act for this big‑top spectacular.
