Dougie Dunlop

"All the composure of a Tiger Woods' putt" The Scotsman

Highly talented observational comic, Dougie Dunlop, effortlessly gets audiences laughing and sharing his unique take on life.

Dougie started his career at the "The Stand" in hometown Edinburgh, and made his fringe debut in 2000 as part of the "The Midnight Show" in the Gilded Balloon. For Fringe 2003, he headlined the prestigious Big Value comedy package show at the Café Royal.

He performs at all the major comedy venues in the UK and abroad - as far flung as Shanghai! He headlines in many places, and his relaxed style and widespread appeal makes him much demand at major corporate events and weddings.

“Dougie has a rare ability to tell jokes about ordinary things and be hilarious!” Edinburgh Evening News

His precision humour is delivered with great warmth, and he’s been selected by many high profile comics, both old school and new, to support them on tour.

Dougie’s comedic talents also include writing and acting. He wrote and played the part of an eccentric vet in Scottish art house film, Auchter-Nae-Where released in May 2004.
