All the shows listed below are in Britannia Panopticon Music Hall which is accessed via the New Wynd. For events in other venues please see click on the above tab titled Fund Raisers in Other Venues.

Robin Cairns in stand-up gives you ...
Severe Malcom the Byres Road Hardman
In Glasgow's urban jungle one great beast rules. Fearlessly he strides the mean streets between University Avenue and Great Western Road. Catch him ruthlessly selecting salad leaves in Roots & Fruits. See him sipping viciously at a coffee in Tinderbox. Robin Cairns gives you Severe Malcolm, Byres Road Hard Man. What a ferocious big fanny!
Not suitable for children, the easily offended or those who are not familiar with the native humour and tongue of the Weegie.
Admission only with a Severe Malcom Man Bag available from our shops at 45 & 49 High Street, Glasgow, Tel: 0141 552 4467
