Tartan Tabletop

Tartan Tabletop is an improvised comedy show built around a Dungeons & Dragons-style adventure, staged at The Old Hairdresser's in Glasgow. It is a stand-up and comedy production for fans of tabletop gaming and for newcomers alike.

Four heroes set out on a quest in which every turn of the story is decided by the roll of a dice. Because the adventure is improvised, the performers blunder their way through it live, following the chances the dice give them rather than a fixed script. The show is aimed both at seasoned players and at audiences who have never tried tabletop gaming.

A special guest comedian joins the cast to play Noblin the Goblin, a character described as weird and wonderful. The evening is presented as a stand-up and comedy show with a strong role-play element, and it suits anyone curious about how a tabletop campaign can turn into a night out.

Theatre Scotland has praised the live improvisation as remarkably well crafted, and Starburst Magazine described the show as fun for everyone. The Old Hairdresser's, the venue, hosts concerts and shows in Glasgow.
