Stuart Mitchell & Festival Friends 4 1/2 **** - One4Review
one4review | On 09, Aug 2025
There’s no doubt that Stuart Mitchell is fast becoming a new favourite Scottish comedian. He’s happy to rip the backside out of audience members and turn their responses to his questions into fantastic comedy moments. His dead pan sarcastic delivery and exchanges with the crowd form a hilarious part of this show. His facial expressions alone are worth paying for.
His friends on this show were Stephen Carlin and Rory O’Hanlon, both there to showcase their individual talents and pedal their wares to encourage folks to go and see their shows.
Carlin delivers a confident and competent set and manages to pick a Jurgen Klopp look-a-like from the crowd, which is absolutely hilarious. Good crowd work and a nicely paced delivery means he fails to disappoint this packed conference room at The Apex Hotel.
Irish comedian, Rory O’Hanlon brings even more merriment to the show, and he has the audience howling. A very funny set from Dublin comedy scene regular. Rapid-fire delivery means we hardly have time to catch our breath before he lands another belter on us.
Indeed, Mitchell has some very funny friends and he’s happy to share the stage and the limelight with them in equal measure. Guaranteed laughs from start to finish, this is the perfect lunchtime treat.
