Scottish comedy star Kim Blythe’s debut tour Cowboy played to sold-out crowds across the UK and Ireland last autumn and sold out her Edinburgh Fringe run with the same show. This year, she is back with her most ambitious show to date, reaching more of the country with brand new show Puzzle.

This Autumn, Blythe takes Puzzle to 17 cities across the UK and Ireland, returning to the audiences who packed out Cowboy last year, and reaching new ones in Bristol, Brighton, Cambridge, Cork and the Scottish Borders for the first time. The route includes Leicester Square Theatre in London’s West End, Contact Theatre in Manchester and Eden Court in Inverness, as Blythe makes a huge step up from last year’s debut tour.

Blythe was nominated for the Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award in both 2025 and 2026, one of the few Scottish comedians to receive the recognition two years in a row. Her audience built online first: 201,000 TikTok followers and 126,000 on Instagram, numbers that have consistently converted into sold rooms since she first took Cowboy on the road.

Kim Blythe said, “Most of last tour sold out, which I’m still not entirely over. So naturally we’ve booked rooms almost twice the size and refused to tell anyone what the new show is about. If it goes wrong, I’ll say I planned it that way.”

Tickets for Blythe’s live tour are on sale now and available here!.

REVIEW: DIVERSITY SHREDDER, CHARLENE KAYE

In Diversity Shredder, Charlene Kaye’s energy is palpable and unrelenting. She really does pack every minute of the show with material, with applaudable showmanship. The show follows Kaye on a journey of discovery to find her own musical identity, starting with a history of Asian American music – including the problematic depictions of asians in The Vapors’ music – to K-pop hitting the mainstream and accomplishing world domination.
