Top Things To Do
in the West End
From our own glorious shores prepare to be
entertained by Craig Hill, Elaine C. Smith and the
infamous Frankie Boyle. As well as the big names
in comedy, attendees can look forward to rising
stars such as Evelyn Mok, Adam Hess and Annie
McGrath. Stepping away from the stand-up mike,
one might consider some of the plays, films or
family shows. Jason Manford performs in the
hilarious musical whodunnit Curtains. There is
even room for your four legged friend as Drygate
open their doors for a dog-friendly comedy club.

Mother’s Day this year falls on Sunday 22nd
March. If flowers and chocolates just seem so
last year why not consider a day out? Everyone’s
favourite Canadian crooner Michael Buble
will be entertaining diners at The Corinthian
Club. Sounds too good to be true? Well it is.
But Glasgow’s next best thing, Buble
impersonator Michael Hastie, will be serenading
those enjoying afternoon tea and a glass of fizz.
For a sensational gift, what about tickets for the
upcoming Planet Earth 2 Live In Concert at the
SSE Hydro? BBC’s Natural History Department
had us glued to the TV each week and now you
can watch the show live on a gigantic 4K screen,
accompanied by the City of Prague Philharmonic
Orchestra. Thrilling, emotional and a fantastic
spectacle, marvelling at our natural world might
let mum know just how much she means (and is a
little better than half price flowers from Esso!)

We can be assured that spring is surely here as
Oran Mor’s A Play A Pie and A Pint launches it’s
new programme. Twenty new plays for 2020
will see music, drama and comedy productions.
The Beaches of St. Valery retells the tale of the
Dunkirk evacuation where 350,000 men were
transported to safety. But left behind were the
men of the 51st Highland Division, sacrificed in a
secret political deal.
Rose tells the story of Rose Reilly who in 1984
scored for Scotland against Italy to win the
Women’s World Cup. Who would have known
that at home Rose had been expelled from school
and sacked from her job?
In The Storm, the tempestuous subject of fake
news is explored as a live radio broadcast gives
the audience more than they bargained for.
Along in Websters Theatre, Bill W. And Dr Bob
recounts the humorous yet inspirational story
of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Both men come from astonishingly successful
backgrounds, which makes it all the further to
fall when alcoholism takes hold.
