Gary Meikle: Yer Maw

6 Feb 2026 - 2 Dec 2026

Hi guys! It’s me, Gary. These blurbs do my head in, if I’m honest. Each year I need to sit and write one out before I even know what stories I’m gonna share. So what's the new show about? I don’t know yet, but it will contain at least one 'yer maw' joke! What I do know is that it’ll be another brand-new combination of stories, opinions and observations about me and my family, as well as all of you. It's always about people and the mad things we do, sometimes animals too, but more often than not it's about people and the stupid scenarios we end up in.

The Birth of a Nation!    Before long, it's drams and prams, pains and weans, distractions and contractions..as The Wummin on The Wards emerge to give birth to their stories (and their weans) in full thrust Glasgow style. Literally all the belly aching hilarity.and a few hysterectomies too. A show that will have you in stitches!!

A recent health scare results in Pat experiencing a lapse in his football fanaticism and a stark re-evaluation of a lifetime spent as a Celtic fan. A confused Danny cannot understand his pal's sudden mood swing and gradually their long-standing match day routine becomes the backdrop to a darkly comedic discourse where they both come to question their Celtic-mindedness, their politics, their hopes, dreams, fears, values and above all else, their evolution from young and gallus into Celtic Da's.
