2016 Edinburgh Fringe
Vladimir McTavish: Scotland In Sixty Minutes
Vladimir McTavish turned 60 in 2016. For many, this is a time in life for sober reflection or for ticking off items from the bucket list. Instead, McTavish decided to take advantage of his free bus pass to embark on a three month tour of cities and small towns of Scotland, in search of the quirks that make up our nation's psyche. A hilarious hour-long account of that trek from Gretna to Thurso and beyond in a quest to find the essential Scotland. 'One of the finest acts on the Scottish comedy circuit' (Guardian).

Vladimir McTavish: Scots enjoy the Fringe too
Last week, I came to the sobering realisation that this is my twenty-second successive year performing at the Edinburgh Fringe, although I am not sure how appropriate it is to use the word "sobering" when describing Edinburgh in August.

With Edinburgh Scotland's most popular tourist destination, the locals are used to being outnumbered by sassenachs. Things get much worse at Fringe time, and it's easy to forget there are plenty of home-grown comedians to enjoy too. Here's my recommendations for ten brilliant acts who are all as Scottish as a highland terrier chewing shortbread on Loch Lomond, while a junkie shoots up, signs on, and stabs a guy in a kilt eating haggis, drinking Irn Bru and shouting "Och aye the nooooo."
