Welcome to Highland Comedy

Bringing Comedy to the Highlands

We are based in the heart of the Highlands, Inverness and have been working toward creating a vibrant comedy scene. Comedy in the Highlands has been steadily growing, thanks to the dedication of our performers. With thanks of course to the unwavering support from the local venues that have helped champion our cause.

Kieran Lochore – The Comedy Bothy

Inverness does have comedy events typically these are usually names from down south or even famous comedians playing the likes of Eden Court. Our goal, is to bring comedy made in the Highlands, no matter the race or greed of the performer, if you can make funny, we’re interested. Our hopes to continue to build this amazing scene and perform for you wonderful people in Inverness.

Building a scene, fundamentally is about building a community from the ground up. We have regular comedy open mics in town for newcomers and have fortnightly workshops for performers new and old to hone the craft and development their material. We have a wide range of performers from different backgrounds and have been very lucky to put on shows with such varying acts. This has help build a real authentic feel to the scene and the shows people attend.

We often hear from the punters that they are surprised at the calibre of performers we have. Though it may seem surprising, Highland audiences are both a joy to perform for and a unique challenge when it comes to eliciting laughter. Our wonderful comedians have been honing their craft against that and the results have paid off.

Comedy Nights Around the Highlands

Our gigs don’t just stop in Inverness, we also venture out into the Highlands. We have been a part two of The Teuchers Comedy Club’s NC500 Tours . Put on gigs from Thurso to Ullapool and even more! Whether they be pubs, community halls, town houses, cinemas or even cafe’s and event Indian restaurants. We are always up for a gig and are passionate about comedy in the Highlands.
