A centenary celebration of the life and legacy of Rikki Fulton, one of Scotland’s most beloved comic actors.

For decades, he’s been making the nation laugh with his rubber face, razor sharp wit and laconic demeanour. His influence is still felt in new generations of comics, and clips of his sketches still make us laugh to this day.
The celebratory sketch show takes on the talking points from 2023 - making us smile, wince and reminisce as we speed towards the bells.
