Greig Laidlaw is truly one of the biggest characters in Scottish sport. Fred MacAulay welcomes Greig for this featured conversation about his inspirational rugby career and much-lauded leadership style – with plenty of laughs thrown in for good measure!

A proud Scotsman with a fierce work ethic, Greig knew early on where he wanted to be — on a rugby pitch. Even while completing an apprenticeship as a joiner, he kept pushing, training, and closing the gap between a childhood dream and a professional career. From his Scotland debut in 2010 to his international retirement in 2019, Greig became one of the most influential figures in modern Scottish rugby. He captained his country 39 times — more than half of his 76 caps — and more than any other Scottish male player in history.

A strategist, a metronomic goalkicker, a captain with a calm edge, he was the heartbeat of Scotland through two World Cups and a British & Irish Lions tour in 2017. His club career has taken him across Scotland, England, France and Japan, winning silverware and earning the respect of every environment he entered. Wherever he has played, he has proven to be a leader you can trust, a thinker you can follow, and a competitor who raises the standards of those around him.

Shetland’s award‑winning performer Marjolein brings an unforgettable hour of stand‑up and folktales, blending sharp comedy with spellbinding storytelling. Nominated for Channel 4’s Sean Lock Comedy Award and The Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award, Marjolein expertly weaves comedy and folklore to share her own personal stories.

Officially ranked one of the best-reviewed Fringe shows of its year, this is a show about the body and a health condition which, left unspoken about for years, was almost fatal. Not for the faint hearted, with nine audience members fainting and another eighteen walkouts during its Edinburgh Fringe run. However this is not gore for gore’s sake. This show has the potential to save lives. Also: JOKES.

Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups, sketch acts and cabaret stars from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits!

Over twenty years later, the company has expanded from one London residency to being countrywide, running shows and workshops all over the UK from Peebles to Portsmouth, popping up at festivals like Glastonbury, End Of The Road and Camp Bestival. We have also published a book on how to write and perform stand-up, and host our own Radio Nonsense podcast to bring the sillies to families all over the world. In August 2025, we won The Victoria Wood Award, the Edinburgh Comedy Awards’ panel prize, in recognition of our two decades in this glorious endeavour.

The show is family friendly, but without any patronising idiocy. In fact, it’s just like a normal comedy club, but it’s on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of the entire audience claiming to be called Bob.

“All in all this show was great.” – The Scotsman

“Comedy Club 4 Kids has stand-up sets from grown-up, high-quality acts who perform their usual sets, just without the swearing or rude bits.” – The Independent

“…plenty of full on laughs and tears of enjoyment from parents” – Families Edinburgh
