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.

Following their recent productions of Sunshine On Leith and 9 to 5, Eros are delighted to bring to East Kilbride Village Theatre, We Will Rock You – the smash-hit musical by Queen and Ben Elton!

Get ready to be transported to a post-apocalyptic future without musical instruments where music is controlled by algorithms, rock is banned, individuality is outlawed, and a group of rebel Bohemians who dare to defy the system to save rock ‘n’ roll. Packed with laughter, rebellion, and heart-pounding rock anthems, this electrifying musical celebrates the power of freedom, love, and the enduring legacy of Queen.

Featuring 24 of Queen’s greatest hits, including ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‘Somebody to Love’, ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, ‘Under Pressure’, and, of course, ‘We Are the Champions’, this show is guaranteed to have you singing, laughing, and stomping along. Whether you're a lifelong Queen fan or discovering the magic of this show for the first time, We Will Rock You guarantees a night of unforgettable entertainment.

“Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see…” This is one show you do not want to miss! This amateur production of “WE WILL ROCK YOU” is presented through special arrangement with and all authorised performance materials are supplied by Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW).
