Don’t Look Down

FLYING PIG PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS

With Craig Campbell’s record Everest base camp show looming beyond his hip-reshaping operation and a winter of snowboarding comedy shows, the challenge of keeping the wounded Moose’s chin up ensures Don’t Look Down is his most appropriately titled show yet! The internationally acclaimed comedian is one of stand-ups most charismatic and inventive performers with hilarious tales of globetrotting adventure never failing to impress (one expectant mother laughed so hard her waters broke!). Don’t miss this brand new show from Canada’s funniest export! “Loud, beautifully crafted tales of outsider adventure” Independent

Aberdeen’s own comedy team, the Flying Pigs have been entertaining ever growing audiences since 1998, and enjoyed sell out runs at HMT with Desperate Fishwives, How To Look Good Glaikit and Finzean in the Rain. They’ve also made 3 radio series, a Hogmanay special and a TV pilot for BBC Scotland. Nae bad for a bunch of chancers! Now the “punk ‘Scotland the What?’ are back with a brand new show, packed with laughs and their distinctive North-East flavour. Whether you’re a toonser, a teuchter or an inabootcomer, we guarantee the best laugh you’ll have in ages. But don’t take our word for it… “Father Ted meets The Broons” Scottish Daily Express “A hoot, pure genius” Evening Express “Hilarious...” The Scotsman “...albeit lowbrow” The Herald
