SCOTLAND’S Fred MacAulay is on the road again, and will be in Swindon next week.

In his first tour since 2012, Fred looks at his family life at home and looks forward to how his country will shape up after the 2014 referendum of 2014.

As well as looking backwards and forwards, he’ll probably look sideways at politics, sport, the environment and, without sounding too like a brief for a newspaper, there will undoubtedly be a colour supplement with a look at celebrity. He may also touch upon his 18 years at BBC Radio Scotland.

He has a string of TV appearances under his sporran, from Mock the Week, QI and Have I Got News For You to a guest-spot on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in the US.

He has presented many programmes for the BBC, including McCoist and MacAulay, Life According to Fred, Hoots, Simply Fred, Scots on the Box and On The Road with Martell Maxwell, and he lasted 7 out of 11 nights when he sang on Comic Relief Does Fame Academy!

Further charity challenges saw him kayak the Caledonian Canal for Sport Relief in temperatures as low as -18 Celsius and scale Mt Kilimanjaro.

Fred MacAulay will be at the Arts Centre on Wednesday, October 7, at 8pm. Tickets are £15 from swindontheatres.co.uk or 01793 524481.
