Get ready for a night of roaring laughter as Al Thompson, one of Scotland’s fastest-rising comedy stars, brings his powerhouse stand-up act to Inverness for the very first time.
The show lands this Friday, 29 August, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting comedy nights the Highland capital has seen in years.
Winner of the Spirit of Comedy Heats in Glasgow, Thompson has been building a storm of praise on the Scottish comedy circuit, winning over critics and audiences alike with his razor-sharp wit, smart storytelling, and thunderous delivery.
Now, it’s Inverness’s turn to see what all the fuss is about.
The accolades speak for themselves.
Phil Differ called him “very clever.”
Des McLean declared him “fantastic.”
Des Clarke praised “so many great lines,” while Blackfriars simply said “non-stop laughs.”
Fellow comic Stuart McPherson summed it up with “he was brilliant.”
It’s not just hype, it’s the sound of a comic on the rise, and this week Highland audiences can catch him live before bigger stages come calling.
The gig takes place above The Tooth & Claw in the heart of Inverness, hosted by the ever-popular Inverness Comedy Club.
Doors open for two performances at 7.30pm and 10pm, giving fans the chance to catch the show on their own terms.
Joining Thompson is a strong supporting cast of local talent: Joe Sweeney, Tom Cairns, Iain Duncan, and Hazel Urquhart.
Together, they’ll bring a night of fresh voices, bold punchlines, and true Highland hospitality.
Tickets are on sale now via SeeTickets and can also be booked by scanning the event’s QR code.
