Exquisitely done, with a compelling, simmering fury… impressive” Chortle  

Globe-trotting comedian Jimmy McGhie finished a critically acclaimed sold out run of his 7th Edinburgh solo show, Jimmy McGhie’s Tribal Gathering, at the Edinburgh Festival 2017. Before he takes this show to Australia and New Zealand for his fifth international tour, Jimmy will be popping into The Comedy Box to headline in February.

Jimmy McGhie was an Assistant Producer for the BBC’s Science and History Dept, having spent seven years working in factual television before he ran off to join the stand up comedy circus professionally in 2009. Since then he has performed stand up all over the world and appeared on numerous television and radio programmes including the BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, Comedy Central, ABC Australia, THREE New Zealand, Absolute Radio and many more.

He is “a brilliant talent” (The Scotsman) and with “an easy charm and appealing relaxed manner” (Chortle), he has performed 10 solo shows at festivals around the world including the Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Sydney Comedy Festival, Perth Comedy Festival and New Zealand International Comedy festival.

“He is also a clever actor and the other characters that pop up as he herds us through his hilarious hour are pitch-perfect.” The Scotsman

He is now a top circuit act in the UK, as well as a highly sought after corporate awards host and TV warm up artist. He has regularly provided the studio warm up for BBC1’s Graham Norton Show, ITV’s Loose Women and Ch4’s Deal or No Deal.
