You might know that Edinburgh holds the world's largest arts festival but did you know that Glasgow holds Europe's biggest comedy festival?
Now in its eighth year, the festival runs from 11-28 March and already has Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle, Lee Mack, Rhod Gilbert and Dave Gorman signed up, with plenty more to be added.
