BIG PICTURE
THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN LIVE AGAIN! They’ve done a lot since winning the Perrier Award in 1997 have the four-man League of Gentlemen. Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have lured us Inside No 9, Mark Gatiss has fulfilled a lifetime ambition by writing some Doctor Who, and non-performing member Jeremy Dyson has spooked the heck out of us with the stage production and then movie of Ghost Stories. But now, after a rambunctiously successful TV reunion with those top-notch Christmas episodes, the quartet have untangled themselves from all other commitments to launch into their first live tour in over a decade. So, here’s your chance to delight in all your favourite characters from the demonic shopkeeps Edward and Tubbs, the accident-prone vet Dr Chinnery and the blood-lusting Dentons. Or they might totally ignore the classic creations and do a completely new show. They won’t. The League of Gentlemen Live Again!, Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow, 28 & 29 Aug; Edinburgh Playhouse, 30 Aug.
