Now introducing part of your evenings entertainment. Three performers as part of the Dr Bonk Segment:

Dean Beirne:
Smashing onto the scene in 2021, Dean T. Beirne’s likable misfit style of comedy has seen him making waves all over the UK, combining stories of foster care, growing up in Dubai and being a general nerd.

Throughout his career, he reached the final of the 2023 BBC New Comedy Awards, and is the co-host of the comedy horror podcast Blood, Sweat and Fears with fellow comics Alan Jay and Kyle Samuel.

Puke:
Everyone’s favourite gender-fluid bodily fluid, Puke is a Glasgow-based drag abomination. Wielding their art as a weapon of revenge, their performances often summon catharsis from a wellspring of religious trauma, but their tongue-in-cheek sense of humour is never far from the surface.

Siphoning inspiration from a storied linage of q***r outsider artists, Puke mashes together influences from far outside the established order of drag.

With an unmatched sense of comic absurdity and a taste for the more revolting side of life, you never quite know what bile this gruesome creature will conjure on stage. You might not like - or indeed understand - what you’re looking at, but you’ll be left gagging.

Magenta Lust:
Magenta Lust is an internationally recognised, multi award winning neo-burlesque performer from Fife, Scotland.

Very much the resident weirdo in many shows, Magenta has captivated audiences throughout the UK, Europe & now Australia for 16years with her passion for the bizarre and the unconventional.

Described as an ethereal fae-like creature as well as downright bonkers, Magenta Lust is both tantalising and grotesque

STAND UP HORROR – Alex Staniforth [Comedy]
Part of THE WITCHING HOUR Section on the stage at Horror Con Glasgow

Stand Up Horror features improvised, macabre tales starring (voluntary!) members of the audience as Alex leads you in a tale across the city facing ghosts... or zombies.... or witches... or all...!? You get to make suggestions and help guide the adventure and determine if you live... or DIE! Mwuhahaha

Actor, writer and tour guide Alex Staniforth invents a horror story anew every performance. You decide what the characters do, find and sometimes - yes sometimes - even love. Every night is different and every night is horrifically hilarious.
"Fielding suggestions from the audience, the actor, story-teller ... will spin a tale of terror and laughter from scratch.

Expect “gory-telling” at its finest." - The Wee review
