Fred MacAulay: Good Evening!

Fred MacAulay: Good Evening!

11 Oct 2026 - 16 Oct 2026

For reasons outwith his control, Fred had to cancel his 2025 Edinburgh Fringe shows and his Autumn Tour - “Fred MacAulay: No podcast - LIVE”. Now, thankfully, due to reasons completely within his control, he is now preparing to hit the road in 2026 with the 2025 show repackaged and updated and simply called “GOOD EVENING!”. So what happened? Simply put: Fred suffered a freak accident and then an unrelated prostate cancer diagnosis. Is there humour in either of these? In the words of a famous Scotland footballer “Maybes Aye, Maybes Naw”. Now in the fourth decade of his comedy career, Fred MacAulay still loves being on stage doing what he does best...quite simply it's STAND-UP and his appetite for performing is as strong as it was all those years ago when he took a massive side-ways step from a career as an Accountant and Company Secretary into the world of entertainment. A career which has taken him all over the world (apart from South America) (and some other continents) where he has worked in television and radio. But it’s always been and always will be as a stand-up that Fred wants to be remembered. It's because of stand-up that he’s been asked to do all the 'celebrity' things that he’s done. He might talk about some of them, but he's more likely to talk about what is current - having been a guest on the famous Radio 4 News Quiz show for almost 18 years he has some previous in this respect. And as a family man he'll no doubt be talking about the latest stage of that aspect of life...grandchildren. "I can remember the joy of having our kids just after I'd embarked on my career in comedy... what a great source of material they were! I mean, that wasn't the main reason for having kids ... but I hope the same applies to the grandkids!" Fred hates the word ‘celebrity’ yet he’s done Celebrity Mastermind (twice) and Celebrity Masterchef (once) and who can forget his Celebrity Fame Academy for Comic Relief (Answer: hopefully everyone). Asked twice to do ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ Fred said No! “I’m waiting for the Scottish version... “So You Think You’re A Celebrity, Get The Out Of Here!” Asked for a snappy quote for publicity, Fred sent this: “I really hope that a lot of people come out to see this tour. I think it’s the best show I’ve done since the last one.”

The Hangar: Optimo + Isa Gordon / PENKNIFE + Radhika
'The Hangar' is an evening curated by musicians Sushil K Dade (The Soup Dragons / Future Pilot AKA) & Radhika, bringing together Scotland’s alternative artistic community for a multi-arts celebration of music, art, and unexpected collaborations. Each night will feature special guests and exclusive performances that inspire and challenge the way we experience art. Alongside ad-hoc music from Radhika's dream pop group who celebrate the release of their debut album Cine-Pop this year. Isa Gordon is a Glasgow-based producer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist. Isa blends ethereal electronics with raw, expressive performance. Her debut album For You Only (Optimo Music, 2022) established her as a distinctive voice, drawing from club music, folk, punk, and experimental sound design. As part of the evening Isa will perform a solo set alongside a performance with PENKNIFE, a new project featuring Isa, Paul Thomson and Loris S. Sarid. Drawing a diagram between the three we find influences of Scottish trad, Ambient, Metal, Hyper - and less hyper-pop, merging into an elegant and weird extravaganza. At the stream’s estuary we find compositions that are songs by form, yet sprinkled with gritty abstractions that feed listeners bizarre black pudding tasting cotton candy, poetic politics and contemporary folklore. “I’ll be dishing out a load of 7" treasures from the Optimo vaults - Anything goes at this one - No wave, Synth Pop, Post Punk, Rockabilly, Dancehall but most of all... oddball!

Joshua Burnell

Joshua Burnell

24 Oct 2026 - 24 Oct 2026

Like an intergalactic troubadour who crash-landed last century, Joshua Burnell makes retro chamber pop for the modern world. Fresh off the back of a UK TOUR including a growing number of sold out dates, Burnell is unleashing his SECOND TOUR AND ALBUM THIS YEAR: CONDOR KEEP & OTHER STORIES. Born in France, but raised on the move, including years in Linlithgow, Kendal and Yorkshire, the eclecticism of Joshua’s influences mirrors this restless movement. There are shades of 70s rock, singer-songwriter folk and classical sophistication drawn together with a bookish edge. His music has been compared to The Decemberists, Al Stewart and THE OBSERVER wrote: “much of it would fit comfortably in a Peter Gabriel-era Genesis set.” His show feels like poring over an anthology of otherworldly tales yet with the flamboyance and emotion of a stadium rock show. Sensitive to the social challenges we all face in today’s age, Joshua creates universes to offer both a temporary escape but also to reflect today’s injustices through his characters and stories with the understanding that bringing people together is the remedy. The standing ovation he received at FAIRPORT’S CROPREDY CONVENTION amongst numerous festivals is testament that people are starting to connect with this relentlessly creative artist. The Escape From Condor Keep Tour spans across the UK and Europe, with some dates already sold out - one of them (aptly) a medieval keep in the Netherlands. Having received the thumbs up from BBC RADIO 2’S MARK RADCLIFFE, and backed by a stellar 5-piece band, Joshua Burnell is not one to miss.
