Comedian Amanda Dwyer has expressed her profound delight after being named the recipient of the 2026 Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award at the Glasgow Comedy Festival (GCF) Gala. The 36-year-old collected the prestigious accolade on Sunday at the King’s Theatre, following a personalised video message from the legendary Sir Billy Connolly himself.
Dwyer now stands as the fourth individual to receive the award, which celebrates those who best embody the "Spirit of Glasgow". She joins a distinguished list of previous winners, including Rosco McClelland (2025), Susie McCabe (2024), and Janey Godley (2023).
