Brian Higgins

About

Brian is one of the most experienced headline acts on the comedy circuit. He moved to London in his teens from a small fishing village in central Scotland. Armed only with a penknife, catapult and a bag full of tadpoles he set out to make his fortune. Twenty years later he still has the penknife. Brian has a real passion for comedy, and it shows in an impeccably delivered cheeky upbeat set, which never fails to deliver the goods.

Topical material alongside well-crafted stories of fatherhood, pregnancy and all related subject matters. He has a high turnover of material and that maybe one of the reasons he has been a headline act for the last fourteen years.

Reading, Bug Jam, Shakespeare festival Nottingham & Leeds, Cambridge Comedy Festival and V Festival and many, many more.
