Tatty Macleod: Things My Mother Did

Tatty Macleod's stand-up show, staged at The Stand Comedy Club in Glasgow, looks at family resemblance through a viral video of the comedian's mother. It is a comedy show built on personal material.

Tatty Macleod's new stand-up show asks whether she is becoming her mother. Its starting point is a video Tatty shared on social media in August 2025, showing her 73-year-old mum digging a trench. The clip has been watched tens of millions of times and has become a viral sensation. Tatty is now the age her mother was when she had her, and the material sets her mother's life choices against her own.

Tatty's previous show, Fugue, was named one of Time Out's picks among the comedy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and later toured the UK and Europe. Her first non-fiction book is due to be published in 2027.

The performance takes place at The Stand Comedy Club in Glasgow, where the show is presented as a stand-up comedy evening centred on Tatty's own storytelling.
