Tonight however Calum leaves his family friendly hat behind as he presents the late night show with his magical game show “The Wheel”.

Their powerful operatic voice has wowed audiences across the U.K. and Europe and has earned Markee a sterling reputation as one of Scotland's top variety performers. This 'saw'cy performer brings some 'sharp' and 'edgy' sass to the stage.

⚙️Prof.Cogsworth - Cabaret Performer: The Great Magician Professor Cogsworth is a real crowd pleaser with his dark and daring tricks! His act involves balloons, nails, razor blades and other bizarre things, generally going places where they shouldn’t.

👠 Ru Jazzle: Arty and ready to party, Rujazzle is a Scottish drag legend! Colourful and campy, Rujazzle is a staple of the Glasgow drag scene.

🎩The Great Aziz: The bird man, is truly an international man of mystery. Aziz is a graduate of the esteemed Chavez school of magic in California, where he honed his act and applied a contemporary twist to the old traditional style of magic. Since graduating, he went on to spend the following years traveling the world and performing his multi award winning act in over 50 countries, from the summit of Machu Picchu to the Jungles of the Amazon and Madagascar to name a few. Since returning to Glasgow, The Great Aziz has gone on to perform regularly at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and T in the park, all while establishing himself as a local legend within the Glasgow cabaret scene.
