Magic will be in the air at Number 57 as comedian-magician Chris Dinwoodie heads another cracking comedic ensemble, hosted by Kate Hammer.

Chris Dinwoodie is a multi-award winning comedian-magician and your headline act for the evening. Having performed for celebrities and royalty alike, he’s been crowned Scottish Magic Champion no less than five times, and made multiple TV and radio appearances, as well as sold-out Edinburgh Fringe and Glasgow Comedy Festival shows. He was accepted into The Magic Circle with one of the highest scores on record, but what sets Chris apart is his natural Glaswegian humour which makes him a tough act to follow.

"Stole the show... 33 minutes of gold... not many comics can follow him!" - Des McLean

"His comedy is magic" - Glasgow Times

"Amazing" - Evening Express

Your host for the evening will be the fantastic Kate Hammer. Anaemic, Canadian, and disgusting, Kate Hammer (BBC Short Stuff) has performed at Just for Laughs, opened for Karen Dunbar, and was a semi-finalist for LGBTQ Comedian of the Year and Funny Women 2022. A writer, performer, and all-round emotionally unavailable person, she is ready to be way too personal, wear high-waisted jeans, and make you laugh.

“She’s incredible. I just want to hear more.” - Rachel Parris

“She has great charisma and dynamism, both physical and verbal” - Chortle

Support acts TBA

**PLEASE READ CAREFULLY**

· Tickets can be refunded or exchanged no less than 24 hours before the show.

· Line-ups can be subject to change at short notice.

· The show is in three 30 minute parts separated by two intervals. Doors open at 7pm, one hour before the start time of 8pm. Please arrive before the show starts but not before 7pm. Attendees who arrive late will not be granted admission or a refund.

· Don’t talk or heckle during the performances. This rule is NOT optional. It is very distracting for both the performer and other audience members. Some performers (usually the host) might talk to the audience, but otherwise please let the comedians do the talking. Heckling does not ‘help the show’. Think of it like cinema rules: laughter, cheers, applause are all great, but talking or yelling out is not. And another cinema rule…

· Please put your phone on silent. Photos are fine but please no video or flash photography.

· This is NOT a standing event. All audience members must be seated while the performance is underway, unless ordering at the bar or using the toilets. When ordering at the bar, please whisper.

· Entrance and exit is via the side door only; please wait outside at the door for ticket check and to be seated by the doorman.

· Tables are limited and you may have to share one. If you choose to sit on a row, please move all the way down to the end and don’t leave empty seats between groups. You may not be able to sit together if the remaining chairs available are spread out. If you are particular about seating we recommend arriving as early as possible.

· Seats in the front half of the room must be filled before seating in the back half is allocated.

· Seating in the alcove at the back is reserved for the comedians and their guests only.

· These shows are for people aged 18 and over. You may be asked to show ID if you do not look of age.

· Comedy Dundee does not necessarily agree or disagree with the opinions and viewpoints expressed by the comedians. Acts are booked based on their ability to make people laugh, beyond that we respect freedom of expression. If you disagree or are offended by what you hear, you are free to express this by not laughing, by leaving, or by respectfully raising your objections with the act after the show or via social media. You may not interrupt an on-going performance.

· Audience members who don’t respect these rules will be asked to leave.
