A host of big names from music and comedy are coming to Scotland as part of the Big Burns Supper.

Burns Night Live (January 25) returns bigger than ever with Eddi Reader playing the Spiegeltent in a live show that will also be streamed free to the world.
The comedy programme expands to include Susie McCabe and Basil Brush as well as a new project featuring local children as stand-up comics in Stand-up Dumfries! joining Nish Kumar, Russell Kane and Rosie Jones.
Theatrical highlights include a new partnership with The Vault Festival and Apphia Campbell’s Fringe First award-winning Black is the Colour of my Voice.
