LOCALS are in for a laugh as Scottish comedian Fred MacAulay makes a return to the Beacon later this month.

The stand-up comedian is visiting Inverclyde in the run-up to his show at the Edinburgh Fringe in August.

MacAulay says he is excited to get back on stage after lockdown saw a string of gigs cancelled.

He said: "It’s time to get back into theatres and halls for a bit of a laugh.”

MacAulay will perform at the Beacon on June 22 from 8pm.
