Rosco McLelland (Scot) in 'Sudden Death'

Welcome to the 2025 NZ International Comedy Festival - 02 to 25 May.

Glasgow’s finest is coming to the Fest in 2025.
Winner of the Scottish Comedian of the Year Award.
Shortlisted for the Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow award in 2024.

Step into the wild world of McClelland's Sudden Death, where old friendships collide with the unexpected in a comedic whirlwind set in the heart of Scotland.
Join Rosco as he navigates highs and lows of life, death and a penchant for edibles, all while grappling with the ultimate game-changer: a potentially fatal heart condition.
With uproarious anecdotes and sharp wit, McClelland takes audiences on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of day-to-day life, peppered with Scottish charm and unexpected twists.

‘A bemused cultural commentator with a renegade outlaw streak’ ★★★★ Scotsman
‘A rollicking hour of unflashy, but highly effective, stand-up from a natural comic who always holds the room in the palm of his hand’ ★★★★ Chortle
