Comedy star Karen Dunbar performing at two West Lothian venues during massive tour
Chewin' the Fat actor Karen Dunbar is bringing her comedy stage show to two West Lothian venues. The comedian and actor, writer, and DJ is embarking on a brand-new tour starting this weekend. The epic 80 date tour starts in Grangemouth on 2 May and runs until the autumn, and includes shows in Bathgate and Livingston. Karen will be stopping off in Bathgate on Thursday, May 15 at the Reconnect Regal Theatre and return to West Lothian later in the year for another performance at Livingston's Reconnect Howden Park on Saturday, September 27. The brand-new show for 2025, will see Karen sharing stories from her life and talking about her career, with – as you would expect from a stalwart of the Scottish comedy scene – a heap of humour and jokes. This is Karen's fourth tour with Aberdeen-based promoters Breakneck Comedy since 2023, and, as the company's founder Naz Hussain explained, it's their most ambitious to date. Naz said: 'This is the biggest tour we've ever organised, and I'm delighted that we're working with Karen for it. This is a big year for Breakneck Comedy – it's our 15th anniversary and to be able to deliver such a huge tour for such a well-loved Scottish act is the icing on the cake. 'Anyone who's been to one of Karen's shows before will know that it's a great night of laughs, jokes, stories, and anecdotes from her career, covering everything from her time on Chewin' The Fat, right through to her latest adventures as a DJ. "The fact that Karen has so many fresh new stories to share is testament to her talent as a comedian, and her amazing career.' Breakneck Comedy is renowned for bringing top comedians and performers to towns and venues that might not be on the usual tour schedule. 'I love bringing big names to towns that some promoters might overlook,' Naz added. 'It's really exciting to be able to put on shows all over Scotland and make it easier for people to be able to enjoy a great night of comedy and entertainment without them having to worry about catching a train home from the city.'
