Karen Dunbar - comedian, actor, writer, DJ, and star of Chewin' The Fat - is set to embark on a brand-new tour.
Talking about An Evening with Karen Dunbar, Breakneck Comedy explain: "This is a brand-new show for 2025, and it sees Karen sharing stories from her life and talking about her career, with - as you would expect from a stalwart of the Scottish comedy scene - a heap of humour and jokes."
Breakneck Comedy founder Naz Hussain explains it's their most ambitious to date. "This is the biggest tour we've ever organised, and I'm delighted that we're working with Karen for it. This is a big year for Breakneck Comedy - it's our fifteenth anniversary and to be able to deliver such a huge tour for such a well-loved Scottish act is the icing on the cake.
"Anyone who's been to one of Karen's shows before will know that it's a great night of laughs, jokes, stories, and anecdotes from her career, covering everything from her time on Chewin' The Fat, right through to her latest adventures as a DJ. This is a brand-new show for 2025, and the fact that Karen has so many fresh new stories to share is testament to her talent as a comedian, and her amazing career."
