When Billy Met Alasdair
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025
(31 Jul-23 Aug: 8:30pm)
'Allow me to give you some advice, Billy...'
Alan Bissett, award-winning creator of Fringe hit The Moira Monologues, takes on the dual roles of two Scottish cultural giants, speculating what (might’ve!) happened when Billy Connolly attended the launch for Alasdair Gray’s 1981 masterpiece, Lanark. Bissett unearths the origin stories of these Glasgow geniuses, exploring their struggles and their art in an ultimately uplifting tale of triumph against the odds. Directed by Kirstin McLean.
'An absolute classic of Scottish working-class comedy' (Scotsman, on The
Moira Trilogy).
Longlisted for the Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of
Glasgow Award 2025.
