One of Scotland’s most brilliant comics, Fred MacAulay has been entertaining audiences for more than three decades. A relative latecomer to the comedy circuit, Fred applies his life experience to his comedy routines making them all the more relatable and hilarious.

Utilising his extensive experience and recognisability across audience demographics, Fred is also a sought-after event host, having previously fronted numerous award shows, like the cHeRies Awards, both virtually and in-person.
Best known for the 18 years he spent as the presenter of MacAulay and Co, Fred was a best-loved voice of BBC Radio Scotland from 1997 until 2015. The daily show was hugely popular with the public, repeatedly achieving top ratings due to it’s light-hearted and relevant comedy.

Despite such success in the media, Fred’s greatest strength is on stage as a live entertainer. Appearing at 29 consecutive Edinburgh Fringe Festivals as an act, Fred has captured his home country’s heart, repeatedly selling out dates weeks in advance for his highly anticipated shows. Fred gained the honour of being the first-ever Scottish compere at the Comedy Store in London thanks to his quick wit and original gags. Drawing the humour from everyday situations, Fred’s style picks on the nuances of normal and explores them with great success.
With an established platform as a comedian, Fred is often called on to appear on television shows, with his current credits including Mock the Week, Have I Got News for You and QI.
