Fascinating Aida, Britain’s best-loved comedy cabaret trio, who in 2013 celebrated 30 years of their unique brand of filthy, witty and fabulous entertainment, will play four dates in Scotland as part of their UK tour in March 2014 with their hit show 'Charm Offensive'.

Fascinating Aida will be one of the headline acts at this year’s Glasgow International Comedy Festival, the biggest comedy festival in Europe, which runs in the city from 14 March – 5 April. They will perform over two nights at the King’s Theatre on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th March.

Other Scottish dates on the tour will be:

• Saturday 29th March – Alhambra, Dunfermline

Dillie Keane says, “We can’t wait to come back to Scotland; although we’re mainly coming for the whisky and Arbroath smokies. Scotland and England – two countries divided by Hadrian’s Wall. And a possible plebiscite."

"Hilarious" ★★★★ Daily Telegraph
"The glamour is magnetic, the satire razor-sharp, the lyrics brilliant…intensely poignant" The Guardian
"See them before you die otherwise your life will have been meaningless" Mail on Sunday
"Cabaret Heaven." ★★★★★ Metro
“Blimey, a lot of these reviews are ancient.  But so are we.” ★★★★★ Dillie Keane
