Funny in Falkirk have managed to succeed where the Jubilee failed – we’ve united MSPs and been given a big thumbs up from across the three main parties.

In a motion tabled on Monday 18 June, Angus MacDonald of the SNP praised the festival’s organisers for putting together another spectacular line-up and bringing Funny in Falkirk back to the district for a third year running.

He commended the Scottish Comedy Agency and Falkirk Delivers for their commitment to the event and looked forward to its continued success in years to come.

The motion was supported by almost thirty MSPs from various parties.
