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. For Fringe 2003, he headlined the prestigious Big Value comedy package show at the Café Royal, and his debut solo show in 2007 was a great success.
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 in demand at major corporate events and weddings.
His precision humour is delivered with great warmth, and he has been selected by many high profile comics, both old school and new, to support them on tour, including Sean Hughes (2007) and Dylan Moran.
Dougie’s comedic talents also include writing and acting. He wrote and played the part of an eccentric vet in the Scottish art house film, Auchter-Nae-Where released in May 2004.
