Ticket Touts

It has recently come to our attention that some tickets for shows at the Pavilion are being sold on auction websites such as e-Bay for well over the face value of the tickets. Please note that if you buy tickets via these websites, your ticket will become invalid and you will not be permitted access to the theatre. Tickets should only be bought via the official Pavilion Theatre Glasgow website or in person at the theatre box office. See full terms & conditions for more details.

SIMON AMSTELL (+ Support)
DO NOTHING

Hello.

Like everyone else, Simon Amstell will die.

However before that, he will be performing stand up comedy in this theatre.

Please do not attend if the date clashes with something in your own life.

Thank you.
Goodbye

Simon Amstell made his name as the presenter of Popworld - Channel 4's weekly pop programme. In his youth, Amstell was the youngest finalist of the BBC New Comedy Awards.
He started his presenting career at Nickelodeon and it didn't take long for Nickelodeon to see his potential. Then came Popworld, which Simon co-hosted with Miquita Oliver from January 2000 until March 2006.
He is now the host of Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
Simon performs regularly on the stand-up circuit and has had sell-out shows at the Pleasance during the 2005 - 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festivals. In 2008 he completed a national tour on theatres around the country.
Simon has won an RTS Award for his work on Never Mind the Buzzcocks as well as a Broadcast Award, two British Comedy Awards and was most recently nominated for a BAFTA.

****""Stimulating, self-deprecating... a witty poised and revealing show."
Dominic Maxwell- The Times

****"Where Philosophy collides with anxiety: where Heidegger meets Woody Allen...the real deal"
Brian Logan - The Guardian

****"frank, philosophical and painfully funny, able to wrestle gut-wrenching laughs out of his existential angst... Jean Paul Sartre of stand-up"
Bruce Dessau - Evening Standard

****"One of the most elegant, articulate, sensitive and endearing proponents of 'Soul Comedy" that there is"
Kate Copstick- The Scotsman

‘As close as you can get to a man emotionally and philosophically disembowelling himself on stage.’
The Sunday Times

‘Amstell shows off a more tender side and delves into his inner life to expose an unexpected sensitivity.’
The Guardian

‘Amstell ... offers a probing, cerebral show... He speaks for a disconnected, disengaged chunk of Britain, sitting in their own trendily furnished boxes waiting for the world - or some meaningful cause – to come bursting through the door. It doesn’t.’
The Independent
