AWARD-WINNING radio and TV presenter, voice-over artist, actor and regular panto villain Grant Stott is to take his 2016 Edinburgh Fringe hit show, Tales From Behind The Mic, on tour round Scotland.

Stott, one of Radio Forth’s longest serving DJs, has stepped down from his hugely popular daytime show - which he has hosted for the past 17 years - to take his 2016 Edinburgh Fringe hit solo show, Tales From Behind The Mic, on the road.

Directed by long-time collaborators Andy Gray and Ryan Dewar and produced by The Gilded Balloon, the newly extended and re-structured production of Tales From Behind The Mic will tour to 12 venues across Scotland from Sunday, February 26 to Sunday, May 7.

With a beautifully crafted mix of funny, awkward and embarrassing stories, outrageous radio clips, video, offensive reactions on social media and his own cult songs, Grant Stott lifts the lid on his 27 year journey in radio, TV and panto; from the moment he left Lothian and Borders Police, pounding the beat as PC Stott 35G, to treading the boards as a King’s Theatre Panto baddie.

Grant employs his natural charisma and sharp comic timing to expertly bring to life highlights of his working life spanning three decades; that includes falling foul of his bosses for moonlighting while in the force, challenging phone-ins live on air, inappropriate song choices, from him and other DJs, unedited news bulletins, TV shows that he’s successfully killed off, dealing with Ofcom regulations and, of course, what it’s actually like to scare children at Christmas.

Stott wil be performing at Stirling's Tolbooth on Saturday, April 29 at 8pm.

Tickets are £14/£12 and are available from the Box Office on 01786 274 4000 or culturestirling.org/events/grant-stott
