From award-winning writers Greg Hemphill and Robert Florence, Queen of the New Year takes a comic look at global and national news with a Scottish twist.
From award-winning writers Greg Hemphill and Robert Florence, we take a comedy look back at global and national news with a Scottish twist. We’ll find out how Spiderman is faring since his stint filming in the city, the effect Scotland’s qualification into the world cup has had on men around the country, and see an alternate version of Katy Perry’s trip to space.
Both new and familiar faces feature with return appearances from Stephen Buchanan, Louise McCarthy, Paul McCole, Katie Barnett, Chris Toal, Barbara Rafferty and Lisa Livingstone, and newcomers Katia Kvinge, Ayo Adenekan, Michael Dylan and Betty Valencia. Plus additional material from Stephen Buchanan, Flora Bird, Louise McCarthy and Neil Bratchpiece.
