Gary Meikle: Fifty Fux

Fifty Fux is a stand-up comedy show by Gary Meikle, built around reaching fifty. Gary Meikle looks back on a childhood spent in children's homes, where staff once predicted a short or troubled future, and considers what has changed over the decades. The material mixes questioning of life, raunchy observations and embarrassing stories, with some wisdom picked up along the way. It follows on from earlier shows by the performer.

The show runs for two hours including an interval, and every ticket-holder has a seat. The content is personal throughout, drawn from Gary Meikle's own life and experiences, and moves between reflection and comic anecdote.

Monkey Barrel Comedy, where the show is staged, has been named Scotland's Best Comedy Venue since 2020 by the Chortle Awards, and The List describes it as a year-round Edinburgh institution.
