About Fred MacAulay

Scottish comedian and broadcaster with incisive wit
Longtime host of BBC Radio Scotland's MacAulay and Co
Regular performer on major British comedy panel shows
Fred MacAulay is a Scottish comedian and broadcaster who blends incisive wit with warm storytelling. His distinctive approach to observational comedy has made him a household name across the UK comedy landscape.

Fred hosted BBC Radio Scotland's "MacAulay and Co." for nearly 18 years and has appeared on prestigious comedy panel shows including Mock the Week, QI, and Have I Got News For You. As the first Scottish compere at London's Comedy Store, he established himself as a formidable presence in British comedy.

With 29 appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and performances at comedy festivals worldwide, Fred delivers consistently engaging performances that resonate with diverse audiences. His comedy seamlessly weaves everyday observations with sharp social commentary, drawing from his unusual career transition from accountancy to stand-up. Whether performing on Radio 4's "Just A Minute" or entertaining crowds at live venues, Fred's timing and delivery showcase his masterful command of the craft.

Audiences leave Fred's shows feeling both thoroughly entertained and intellectually stimulated. His ability to connect personal anecdotes with universal experiences creates an atmosphere of shared delight, where laughter comes naturally and frequently. The genuine warmth behind his Scottish humour ensures a memorable experience that lingers long after the final punchline.

Book Fred MacAulay for an evening of intelligent comedy that perfectly balances wit, warmth and incisive observation.
