Chris Forbes: Father Christmas
Sunday 14th March
Doors: 6:30pm
Starts: 7:30pm
Christmas comes to Glasgow a wee bit late this year. Fresh from winning the inaugural McTavish Award at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe, Scot Squad star Chris Forbes brings his hit show Father Christmas to the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
Expect trees, tinsel and tragedy. A hilarious, heartfelt stand-up show about festive joy, family and the Christmas Day that changed everything.
Blending big laughs with beautiful storytelling, this deeply personal hour is for anyone who loves, or hates, Christmas.

‘Stellar comedy with emotional heft’ **** (The Recs)
