GAIETY STUDIO

Thu 20 – Sat 22 March 2025 | 12noon & 6pm

Tickets: £18.50 (includes a play, a pie, and a drink*)

We are delighted to present yet another great collaboration with Glasgow’s Òran Mór’s ground-breaking lunchtime theatre programme A Play, a Pie and a Pint. Join us for lunchtime or teatime for one of the very latest productions on transfer over to the Gaiety Theatre studio.

Co-presented with A Play, A Pie and A Pint, and Traverse Theatre.

‘Kev Campbell Was He’, written by and starring Alexander Tait.

A comedic one-person show about a journey of self-discovery from a chance nightclub toilet encounter.
In a nightclub toilet in the heart of Glasgow, a failed graffiti attempt goes wrong and eighteen-year-old Weegie, Kev, ends up meeting and befriending a stranger…a posh young guy of all people.
An unlikely friendship evolves as the boys discover mutual ground. Bonded by The Great Gatsby, Freddie Mercury, and a love of storytelling this mismatched duo weave a coming-of-age story of self-discovery.
Kev Campbell Was He is a hilarious and moving one-person show that explores masculinity in modern Scotland. It was a finalist of the David MacLennan Award 2024 and received rave reviews at last year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
