Shetland's favourite, Gary Meikle, is returning to Mareel. After selling out last year and demand for tickets this year - we have added an extra show so you don't miss out.

Last year “Papa” (as he is becoming more commonly known as) became the 1st ever comedian worldwide without an agent (his choice) to be granted a full working visa for the USA and is keen to keep on showing why. Gary’s tour this year promises to deliver - he will reluctantly share his newer role in life being a kept man, by the lady that kept him of course being his ever-growing smarter granddaughter, Gracie, who intelligently but more essentially rips the piss out of her Papa daily.

A few stories to note are when she blatantly points out that he’s got “moobs”. She also embarrasses him by telling the truth about his tattoos to a stranger that he is trying to impress. She explains in detail how her Papa isn’t THAT famous and how she calls him a bad name without meaning it. There are literally too many Gracie and Papa stories to cover, but as usual Gary will go off on tangents and delve into the workings of his own mind.

He will tackle subjects such as: rejection issues of men and women, what it was like being a 14-year-old hormonal boy, how it is okay for men to be overtly feminine now, cold showers, mosquitoes on holiday and much more. If you can guarantee one thing from Gary it is that he will work his 5’8 ass off to make sure everyone that sees him live wants to come back for more.

Your laughter makes up for the rejection he suffered in his earlier years, and he will thank you all individually if you choose to come along to his meet and greet, pre-show that he will be doing at every single show again (more details to come).
