Fri 7 October, 7.30pm Scotland’s Number One comedy promoters bring their brand of Award Winning Comedy nights to Dundee Rep Theatre, with Frankie Boyle & Friends. The King of Darkness makes his way to Dundee with a few comedy friends in tow for a night to remember. After his appearances on Mock The Week, Live at The Apollo and Live Floor Show, Frankie Boyle established himself as one of the best comedians in the country if not the world. Supporting Frankie on the night will be Scottish Comedy Legend Fred MacAulay. Fred arrived late to the world of stand-up comedy but has gone on to be a regular at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (2015 was his 27th Fringe) and at comedy festivals worldwide.
