Fancy following in the footsteps of some of Rutherglen's funniest folk? 

Well now's your chance to emulate the likes of Stan Laurel, Robbie Coltrane and Andy Cameron by taking to the stage and sharing your favourite funny stories, memories, anecdotes or even historical tales and myths about the Royal Burgh from any point across its 900 years. 

But don't be daunted if you've never taken to the stage before as we've former Scottish Comedian of the Year and two-time Sir Billy Connolly Award nominee and journalist at The Rutherglen Reformer Scott Agnew in to help out.

He'll whip your wisecracks into shape over a five-week course before a showcase night at Rutherglen Town Hall telling your favourite funny stories about life and love or whatever else has made you laugh about Rutherglen. 

So, get your thinking cap on and bring us stories of growing up, working or wild nights out in the Royal Burgh or perhaps even recount some old yarns passed down your family over the years. Let's hear them!

This is an excellent opportunity to learn some new skills, including a taster for creative writing, public speaking and performing in a relaxed and supportive environment celebrating 900 years of Rutherglen and honouring the old Royal Burgh!

The Comedy Showcase will take place on Friday 20 March 2026.

Studio32 Theatre Company present Home, I’m Darling, by Laura Wade.

Judy is perfectly happy. She has the perfect home, a ridiculously happy marriage and only last week picked up the most wonderful frilly apron to match her newly styled kitchenette. She is living the life of a quintessential 1950s housewife, and she couldn’t be more content. But – are things really that perfect? Can you really live the 50s dream in the 21st century?

Studio32 presents what is destined to be the Scottish amateur premiere of Home, I’m Darling by Laura Wade – a stylish, witty romp through gingham, cocktails, and perfectly polished domestic bliss – until the cracks start to show. It’s a sharp, fun twist on 1950s nostalgia where vintage ideals clash with modern life.

From the theatre company who brought you Calendar Girls and Steel Magnolias, don’t delay – snap up your tickets today!

Available to book online or by calling East Kilbride Arts Centre on 01355 261000.
