THE Merry-Go-Round Comedy Club returns on October 9 at the Hilcroft Hotel in Whitburn.

This month's event welcomes Keir McAllister and Teddy – both finalists in this year’s Scottish Comedian of the Year competition.

Teddy has written for Craig Hill's ‘Out Tonight’, ‘Offside’ with Tam Cowan, ‘The Karen Dunbar Show’ and ‘Only an Excuse’.

His style incorporates true life stories and topical gags weaved together in a darkly comic fashion.

Keir McAllister has gigged all over Scotland and the UK and can be seen regularly working for people like The Stand, HaHa Comedy and The Last Laugh Comedy Clubs.

He has also been a regular guest on ‘Karen Dunbar's Summer Supplement’ on Radio Scotland and has written for a number of radio sketch shows.

Doors open at 7.30pm with the show starting at 8.30pm and tickets cost £8 which can be bought directly at the Hilcroft Hotel or by telephone on 07810546955.
