Laughs will return to Falkirk when top stand up Gary Meikle hits town

Glaswegian Gary became a father at the age of 17 and raised his daughter as a single dad, before becoming a grandfather at just 39. He now lives happily with both his daughter and granddaughter.

So that’s enough material to keep a stand-up going for at least three DVDs.

He’s been telling jokes in front of audiences since 2014, but his hilarity popularity shot into orbit after a rant about his daughter's eyebrows went viral online in 2019 and led to international fame, with over 150 million views for his videos worldwide.
