The best of Scottish comedy is coming to Dunoon!

An outstanding line up of talent is heading your way on Friday 12th December, as Cowal Comedy Club presents a night of top quality stand up in the Burgh Hall.

Headlining is award-winning Clydebank comedian Stephen Buchanan. Stephen is a well-known face (and voice) to fans of Scottish comedy, with appearances on the likes of The Now Show, Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club and The Comedy Underground, as well as being one of the co-hosts of the popular Some Laugh podcast. He has had more than his fair share of industry recognition for his talents, having won the prestigious BBC New Comedy Award (the first Scottish comedian to ever take this UK-wide prize) as well as Scottish Comedian of the Year. He has been described as “An absolute joy from start to finish” (The Sunday Post), and we can’t wait to set him loose in Dunoon.

Opening the show is Mick McNeill – described by the Daily Record as “a rising star of Scottish comedy”, McNeill is a regular at top comedy clubs such as The Stand, and has recently been support act for the likes of Connor Burns and Chris Kent.

We have also hand-picked two of the best up-and-coming acts in Scotland, Canadian Jodie Sloan (over 100m online views, “Exciting comedy newcomer” The Stage) and Daniel Petrie (Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2023).

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.

The best of Scottish comedy is coming to your doorstep – don’t miss out, buy a ticket today on Dunoon Burgh Hall website.

✅ We have copies of the submission form here at the Hall, so if you'd prefer to fill out a form when you hand things in, you'll be good to go 🙂 We know it's been a little more difficult to find the forms to download on our website, and that's something we'll be looking at improving for you for future exhibitions.

Depending on their weight, paper pieces that are not mounted can be displayed on the wall using magnets.

Smaller items, such as jewellery and other craft pieces, will be displayed in our display cases or on plinths.

Around six months ago, artist Mikey Logan reached out to offer an extraordinary gesture of support for Dunoon Burgh Hall. He told us he wanted to create a stone sculpture that could be offered to help raise funds for the Hall. Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of meeting Mikey in person as he unveiled the remarkable piece he has titled Moongate.

To say we were overwhelmed would be an understatement. The craftsmanship and detail in Moongate are exceptional. The stone itself is sourced from a range of fascinating origins, including an ore believed to be a potential meteor from Kenya, alongside materials gathered from historic locations across Scotland.

Moongate is now on display in The Gallery at Dunoon Burgh Hall, where visitors can view this truly unique work of art. We warmly encourage everyone to come along, experience the piece in person, and show support not only for the Hall but also for Mikey’s incredible generosity and artistic talent.

The sculpture is looking for its “forever home,” and perhaps it will be the piece that speaks to you.

When we asked Mikey what motivated him to support Dunoon Burgh Hall, he spoke of the powerful sense of community the Hall represents. Though he no longer lives locally, he recognises the Hall’s importance at the heart of Dunoon, and the need to ensure it remains open and thriving for generations to come.

From all of us at Dunoon Burgh Hall, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Mikey. His gift is more than a sculpture — it is a piece of history, a symbol of solidarity, and a generous contribution to the ongoing journey of preserving this cherished space for the community.

Mikey also has a sculpture called The North Gate displayed at Inverness Castle Gallery. You can read more about it below:-
