Rosie Holt: The Illegal Aliens Have Landed!

Rosie Holt is back at The Stand Comedy Club on Thursday 4 February 2027, with her new show The Illegal Aliens Have Landed!. It's a sci-fi streaked political satire, and she's returning to the stage with her MP alter-ego, still fighting her biggest foe.

If you're not familiar with her work, the show has picked up a fair bit of critical attention. The Times named it one of the '10 Best Political Comedies', and it's held its own with four stars from The Observer, Time Out, the Evening Standard, The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Arts Desk—a long list of four-star reviews for one show. It's strictly for over-18s, so keep that in mind if you're planning a night out with a mixed group.

As for the venue, The Stand is a Glasgow institution. It opened in 1995 at 420 Great Western Road in the West End, and it's grown from a hobby started by a group of enthusiasts into a commercial company with three purpose-built clubs across Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle. It's kept its roots in developing new Scottish comedy, and the programme still runs Red Raw beginners' nights, improvised comedy, sketch shows, the all-female Wicked Wenches, and Irish and Scottish showcases alongside solo shows from better-known names. Many performers and critics count it among the best comedy venues in the world, with just over a hundred thousand people going through its doors last year.

So, you've got Rosie Holt and her MP alter-ego taking on the political scene with a sci-fi twist at The Stand on 4 February. It's strictly over-18s, and the club is at 420 Great Western Road in the West End.
