Glasgow International Comedy Festival has revealed a shortlist of seven acts in the running for the Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award, with the winner to be chosen by the Big Yin.
Festival organisers said the award “recognises the very specific Glaswegian humour, warmth and resilience that the Big Yin is so beloved for”, and this year’s recipient will be announced on March 30 at the city’s King’s Theatre, when the event’s comedy gala takes place.
