This year the festival celebrated St Andrew's Day in style when we brought the Magners Glasgow International Comedy Festival to New York!

On the 30th November of this special Homecoming Scotland year we presented an exclusive preview of America Stands Up - one of the hottest shows on the comedy festival's 2010 programme at the Gotham Comedy Club in Manhattan.

Native Scot Craig Hill was joined by New York comics Marina Franklin, Dan Boulger, Danny Lobell, Bernadette Pauley and fellow Scot Charlotte MacDonald as the festival gave New Yorkers a taste of the hilarious comedy that is the foundation of the Glasgow event.
