The group’s first production, “Where Ye Fae?” featuring Scottish comedy stalwart Dave Anderson, will be perfromed at the Cottiers Theatre in the West tomorrow, followed by a run of five performances at the free fringe festival in Edinburgh from August 5-9.

Jack has a lifelong passion for acting and singing.

He holds and HND in Acting and Performance. Other achievements include appearing in adverts for STV and DrinkAware and a recent tour with Blazing Hyena in For The Love of Cousins.

Jack said: “In our next year of university we wil be required to form a theatre company but we decided to start that early, get a show together and go to the Fringe.

The partnership with Dave Anderson came about after Gregor appeared with him for a play in Oran Mor. Gregor said: “We got on well and he has been really good at guiding us what we want to do.”

Where Ye Fae is a comedy sketch show in the vein of Chewin’ the Fat or Burnistoun, poking plenty of affectionate fun at the culture of Glasgow with characters and situations drawn from the lads’ own observations.

The Free Fringe venue is Blackmarket Room 4, 32 Market Street, Edinburgh EH1 1BQ.
