One of the top reviewed shows at 2023’s Fringe, Jack Docherty will tour the show around Scotland this spring, including stops in Aberdeen, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Greenock, Inverness and more.
Plus, the comic will perform a limited run at London’s Soho Theatre from 7th - 11th May, bringing the show to the city’s most vibrant comedy stage for the first time.
Jack’s love of Bowie and the time spent with his hero on The Jack Docherty Show in 1997 kicks off an emotionally driven journey of comedy as he takes fans on a hilarious trip through the inner workings of his masterful mind, from families to teenage years, AI to culture wars, first love, hedonism, mortality and why you should always meet your heroes.
Perfecting his craft as a sketch comic, chat-show host, writer, author, actor and presenter, David Bowie & Me showcases Jack Docherty at his very best, as the ultimate storyteller.
Jack Docherty said: “I can’t tell you how much fun I had doing this show at the festival and I can’t wait to take it round Scotland.”
The tour is presented by Gilded Balloon, one of Scotland’s leading entertainment producers. As one of the largest and longest-running venues at the Edinburgh Fringe, Gilded Balloon is respected internationally for presenting a stunning annual showcase of theatre, comedy, music and cabaret, and is known for launching the careers of the most successful names in comedy today.
