Fred MacAulay
07 May 2008 at 19:30 
Open on Wednesday

Venue Talla Shomhairle @ Aros
Category STAND UP COMEDY
Description Fred MacAulay is such a legend in Scotland that, to some extent, reviewing him is a redundant exercise. This is the epitome of no frills stand-up comedy, with no pretensions towards anything other than an old-fashioned good-time.
In this, MacAulay succeeds with ease. Onstage he is relaxed, good-natured and immensely charismatic, projecting the image of a comedian you would feel comfortable taking your mother to see. When he talks to his audience, it is with a friendly smile, making them a part of his humour rather than a victim of it.
Couple this with a fine understanding of comic timing, and it is obvious why MacAulay holds the entire room in the palm of his hand. He does not even need to move around, staying firmly rooted in the middle of the stage, exuding a captivating charm that more than compensates for any lack of physical presence.
The stories that he tells with this charming comic poise are mostly harmless anecdotes, with an occasionally cheeky underside, about MacAulay’s family or things he has read in the newspaper.
An evening not to be missed and early booking recommended.
Cost Tickets £14 and £12
