Hot off the heels of their sold-out 2024 tour, The Naked Neds are back! Get ready for a rollercoaster of laughter, tears, and maybe a few awkward moments with Paul, Jamie, Tony, Harry, and Bev!

‘The Naked Neds’ follows a group of Glasgow lads as they navigate the turbulent aftermath of their best friend’s suicide. In a world where politicians’ expenses seem to matter more than NHS waiting lists, they decide to take matters into their own hands. After a string of failed fundraising attempts and just when their lives couldn’t get any more complicated, one of the boys finds a lump, throwing their plans - and everything else - into a whole new perspective and they realise there’s only one thing they can do; take their clothes off!

World renowned Johnny Lee Memphis, the JLM band, the Memphis Belles, come together to produce this explosive and dynamic interpretation of Elvis live in concert: The Absolute Elvis Show.

Elvis was Johnny’s very first inspiration. As a small boy Johnny would passionately watch all of Elvis’s movies and listen to his songs. Through the motivation and love of Elvis, his Aunt Helen started Johnny singing along and dancing the moves. All for family entertainment at the tender age of only 3. Johnny’s home grown musical talent has since taken him far and wide.

Paying homage to the King since 2004, he is absolutely one of the best Elvis tribute artists in the business. His craft has led him to work in countries such as Canada, USA, China, Australia, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Germany, and of course the Mecca for all Elvis tribute artists as he has performed directly across from Graceland in Memphis Tennessee, USA.

His career has also led him to meet and work with people who knew Elvis personally. To quote two of Johnny’s favourite critiques about his performance:

“Johnny is doing Elvis proud, when you meet him it’s like you’ve met your new best friend just like it was with Elvis” - Charles Stones (Elvis’s tour manager)

“Boy, you sure brought back a lot of great memories for me with what you just done on that stage” - Sam Thompson (Elvis’ bodyguard and close friend)

Girls, Guys and Glamrock!

It’s 1974 and Abba just had their Waterloo and our three LUVbirds, Linda, Una and Vi often find their love lives, flushed doon the loo after getting a “dissy” at Boots Corner! Where thousands of Glasgow’s young lovers started their dauner down the aisle…or right back to “ra dancin’.

Many a night they’ve waited on their Knight in shining armour and all the amour- hoping to make it across the road to Beaverbrooks, in their quest for that band of gold.

Will our LUVbirds fall head over heels…or right “aff” their heels? 

A night full of Girls, Guys & Glamrock with all the hilarity, all the love hangovers and all the hits…everything from Abba to T Rex to Bowie and The Bay City Rollers! And so many more…

From the writer of last year’s comedy smash, “The Provy Wummin”- this is not to be missed!
