Wee kids, big laughs. Join MC Stephen Halkett and comedians Chris Thorburn and Lee Kyle - A Comedian at Paisley Comedy Festival for some family-friendly fun.

Since 2005, Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups and sketch acts from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children and their families...but without the rude bits! It's just like a normal comedy club, but it's on during the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of heckles like "why is that your face!?"
