About this show

Glaswegian comedian and author Iain MacDonald embraces the international aspect of the Fringe as he takes you on a punventure around the world in which he has a joke for each and every country. You tell him the country – he'll tell you the joke! And with the aid of his GIANT map and mini globes for the audience, there'll be plenty of opportunities to try and catch him out! ‘Scotland’s Prince of Puns' (BBC Radio Scotland).
