[mod approved] Celtic Da’s – the new comedy play by Phil Differ starring Raymond Mearns & Bruce Morton

Celtic Da’s is a new comedy play that’s touring theatres across Scotland just now. It actually sold out its shows last year, and the recent Glasgow International Comedy Festival show at Òran Mór this month is also sold out.

It’s written by Phil Differ (Only An Excuse?) and stars Raymond Mearns (Limmy’s Show) and Bruce Morton (Still Game).

The story’s about two lifelong Celtic supporting pals, Pat and Danny, now in their seventies. They basically see life through a green-and-white lens, live in the past, moan about everyone under thirty and somehow manage to find negatives in everything Celtic achieve… the definition of Celtic Da’s.

After a health scare, Pat suddenly has a strange lapse in his lifelong Celtic obsession and Danny can’t understand what’s happened to him. Their usual match-day routine turns into a darkly funny back-and-forth about football, politics, getting older and how they ended up becoming the exact kind of Celtic Da’s they used to laugh at.

Reviews have been great too:

“Brilliant, with an even better twist at the end than The Sixth Sense.” – Tam Cowan

“Exceptional performances.” – Billy Sloan

(I’m not even a Celtic supporter and I genuinely enjoyed it – aware how bias that sounds considering I’m punting it but it’s true)
