The basic ingredients of comedy

Sometimes you’ve got to laugh your way through life, and there’s no finer vessel than Scottish humour. We bring together two authors who, across their fiction and non-fiction, rip up the notion that tough times equates to unbridled misery, and that laughter can be found.   Kirkland Ciccone's Sadie, Call the Polis is an offbeat story of a Scottish family as seen through the eyes of the indomitable Sadie Rash, who we follow from childhood to adulthood, while Carrie Marshall’s memoir Carrie Kills A Man explores how a trans rock singer killed a depressed suburban dad in its frank and fearless glory.
Both authors will dive into their work, and - dare we say - crack a joke or two about life along the way.
