The Laughter Lounge at the Hook and Eye Bar
The first event features Scott Forbes, the Mad Dog of Montrose who has “a rapid-fire, natural delivery that reminds me of young Billy Connolly.” (Evening Express). In the early years he found success in several national comedy competitions. Today, Scott runs his own gig in Montrose and MC’s and headlines gigs throughout the Grampian region.
Scott will be supported by Aberdonian Neil Sken who is a highly skilled and much sought after after-dinner speaker. Neil brings a unique perspective to the world and to the stage by being the UK’s only blind comedian. He performs regularly throughout the region and was a Scottish Comedian of the Year Semi-finalist. See www.neilskene.co.uk who is the UK's only blind comedian,

The night will be hosted by Aberdonian Wendy Jane Ivers who's a gifted and thought-provoking conversationalist.
