Alan Bissett: When Billy Met Alasdair
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026
(Sat 15 & Sun 23 Aug)
Allow me to give you some advice, Billy...
Alan Bissett, award-winning creator of Fringe hit The Moira Monologues, performs as two Scottish cultural giants, asking 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 in an uplifting tale of triumph against the odds. Directed by Kirstin McLean.
Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of the Fringe 2025. Longlisted for Sir Billy
