Eric Rushton: Work In Progress

Eric Rushton, winner of the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year and the 2023 Channel 4 Sean Lock Comedy Award, brings his sharp wit to the Glasgow International Comedy Festival with a work-in-progress show. Fresh off rave reviews from his 2024 Edinburgh Fringe performances, Rushton is celebrated for his blend of self-deprecating humour and keen observations. Chortle described him as “intelligently self-aware, with a refreshing vulnerability,” while The Scotsman praised his “offbeat charm” and depth of material.
