Celebrating Scottish Comedy with McTavish Award | Glasgow News

Scotland’s comedy scene is getting its due with the launch of the Vladimir McTavish Award, a new honor celebrating homegrown talent at The Stand Comedy Club. Named after legendary Scottish comic Paul Sneddon—known for his fierce support of emerging acts—the award offers £2,500, mentorship, and performance slots across major venues. With 71 acts competing in its inaugural year, the award aims to spotlight Scotland’s world-class comedians who’ve been flying under the radar at mainstream awards like the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, which have historically favored non-Scottish nominees. It’s a community-driven move to ensure Scottish voices get the recognition they deserve—and it’s already sparking excitement across the circuit.
