THE SHOW

Funny, filthy show, Hysterical Stand up that bursting with positivity that shows you not to take life too seriously. After facing down death Billy Kirkwood finally realised something, it's time to start living the way you want! 
A brand-new wild, fast, funny, and often filthy show from the award-winning comic that bursts with positivity, frantic stand-up and improv comedy energy and some outright mentalness (not a word). Filled with stories of life and ADHD, Disneyland, dead wrestlers, Health scares, kids, ghosts, hillbillies, Scotland vs the world and any nonsense we pick up along the way in a show that teaches you not life too seriously and embrace your inner silly. 
Billy has entertained audiences and supported some of comedy's biggest names from Rhod Gilbert, Mick Foley, Frankie Boyle and more. No discernible narrative. No sad bits. Just good vibes.
"Fast and wild, he’s an expert in chaotic comedy. He’s frantic, he’s infectious, and he had the audience in fits of giggles" - Jenna's Jamboree  "Comedy that leaves you buzzing for hours after you leave" - Broadway World As seen on BBC Scotland, Breaking the News, WWE, ICW and more.
