A group of Glaswegian TikTok stars are set to return to Dumbarton - after previously helping raise £2500 for two of the area’s food banks - in preparation for their ‘biggest show to date’ at the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow.
Comedy stars Conor Hardie, Gregor Mackay, and Elliot Hannigan are part of the group ‘Weegie Hink Ae That’, which was formed as part of an assignment whilst acting students in Edinburgh.
The group of 26-year-old funnymen played in The Rock Comedy Club in September, opening for comedy star Gary Meikle in a stand-up fundraiser night for Food for Thought and West Dunbartonshire Community Foodshare, in which they helped raise £1250 for each charity.
Conor spoke on how impactful the night was, commenting: “We performed in Dumbarton before with Gary Meikle for the local foodbanks.
“It was good to come and see the venue, alongside being part of an event that size, which also helped so many people that were struggling.
“It was great to play a part in it.
“It was a great show, and the audience was lovely and in great form.
“You could tell the people were just so grateful for people to come to them rather than them travelling all the way into Glasgow.
"I expect the upcoming show to be a fun one."
Since performing in The Rock, the hilarious gang of Glaswegians announced their biggest ever show in The Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow.
The Weegies are are set to return to Dumbarton on December 16 for a Christmas comedy night in which they are looking to try out new material for their Pavilion show.
Conor said: “The last time we performed in Dumbarton we just came off the Edinburgh fringe, so we did a solid 20 minutes of material that we knew would work.
“However, this time, I think we might be a bit more experimental with the Pavilion show coming up because we want a West of Scotland take on our material.
“Local gigs are vital for attracting fans from specific areas, which we can’t do online.
“We have 10,000 followers from America, and they are not going to come over here to see us perform at the Pavilion in our biggest show to date.
“So, doing shows in Dumbarton are necessary to know that you are hitting the right target audience, as well as bringing our comedy style to places like Dumbarton that don’t get a huge amount of stuff.”
Tickets for the show can be bought here.
