Bing Hitler, undoubtedly Scotland’s tlnest up and coming comedian, will be appearing at The First In Miller Street, Glasgow on Friday, 19 September, to provide an audience at tans, triends and upwardly mobiles wlth glimpses or his razor-edge wlt.
When he periorms tonight, Bing (aka Craig Ferguson) will be midway through recording his debut album lor Jammy Records, entitled ‘Bing Hitler Live At The Tron’. As the more astute amongst you may have guessed, the album is being recorded at the Tron Theatre on Sunday 21 September and the previous Sunday (see also Theatre listing). Untortunately it’s sold out, so you’ll have to buy the album instead, when it's released at the beginning ol October.
Bing then, should be at his sharpest and most observant best tonight, and it may well be Glasgow’s last chance to enjoy the man llrst hand tor tree. You’d be dait to miss this. (Stuart Spence)
