HIM off the radio, Fred MacAulay, will be making Lyme laugh on November 16.

Fred, star of BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, is bringing his tour Twenty Fifteen to the Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis.

It sounds like a wrong tennis score, but Twenty Fifteen is a hugely significant year for one of Scotland's best (and best loved) stand up comedians.

Back on the road again after 18 years at BBC Radio Scotland, Fred looks back on family life at home.....and forwards to how his country will shape up after the referendum of 2014.

In his first tour since 2012 and with a new show, as well as looking backwards and forwards he'll probably look sideways at politics, sport, the environment and without this sounding too like a brief for a newspaper, there will undoubtedly be a colour supplement with a look at 'celebrity'.

Also star of Bridget Christie Minds The Gap and The Unbelievable Truth, this is Fred's first tour since 2012.

2015 is a hugely significant year for the long-running BBC Scotland presenter.

Back on the road again after 18 years at BBC Radio Scotland presenting the very funny and eventful MacAulay and Co, Fred’s on air witticisms and on screen reputation are the product of years of experience on the live circuit, including a stint as the first ever-Scottish compere at the Comedy Store in London.

He is a regular favourite at the Edinburgh Fringe.

He has a string of TV appearances under his sporran, from Mock the Week, QI and Have I Got News For You to a guest-spot on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in the US.

He has presented many programmes for the BBC, including McCoist and MacAulay, Life According to Fred, Hoots, Simply Fred, Scots on the Box and On The Road with Martell Maxwell, and he lasted 7 out of 11 nights when he sang on Comic Relief Does Fame Academy!

He has also guest-starred on various Radio 4 panel shows such as I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, Just A Minute, The Unbelievable Truth and is a regular panelist on The News Quiz.
