An old-school comedy duo tribute act are back in town this week entertaining audiences in pursuit of pure nostalgia.
Scottish variety and pantomime favourites Liam Dolan and Johnny Mac, from Kilmarnock, are “coming home” to Ayr Gaiety this Wednesday with their new show Francie & Josie– Pure Nostalgia.
Francie & Josie– Pure Nostalgia is Liam and Johnny’s third instalment of the iconic Scots comedy duo, created by comedians Jack Milroy and Rikki Fulton, after previously touring with The Francie & Josie Show and The Francie & Josie Sketchbook.
Showbiz stars Liam, 45, and Johnny, 43, were given the thumbs up by creators Jack and Rikki to revive the act after seeking their permission, with Jack’s late wife Mary Lee encouraging the duo - who have been friends since they were 13 and 11m - to take it on tour.
And now they’re back on home turf, after performing sell-out shows in East Kilbride and Greenock last week, with not one but two shows at Ayr’s Gaiety.
Liam said: “Mary passed away when she was 100 in August last year, but she was a huge supporter of us.
“The show we’ve got now is the third instalment. It’s got sketches, variety, comedy, singalong, classic characters and we’ve also got the rights to do the Reverend I.M Jolly, so he’ll be giving his sermon in Ayr on Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night.
“The Gaiety has always been great. Johnny did the summer season in a Panto at the Gaiety and I was putting on a summer show, so it’s always a great place to come back to.
“It feels like we’re coming home. We’re delighted to be bringing it back to being local.
“We used to go and watch summer seasons at the Gaiety and we’d sit together in the audience and say ‘that must be amazing to do that’, and here we are, we’re getting to do it

While Andrea Riseborough’s shock Oscar nomination for the SXSW 2022 sleeper To Leslie is still being processed, it’s too early to see whether it will have any effect on anything other than awards-season process. It would be nice, however, to think that it could also make it just that little bit harder for the success of smaller, more personal movies to be measured by box office returns alone (how many news stories made a point of deriding To Leslie’s $32,000 take?). Late Bloomers doesn’t have that film’s dramatic intensity, and is way more schematic in its plotting, but Lisa Steen’s debut feature is still an intimate, defiantly female-fronted indie, showcasing an engaging and refreshingly vanity-free performance from Karen Gillan, a talented Scottish actress whose career to date is still something of a work in progress.
