COMEDY Sean Lock
The Glaswegian sculptor’s latest show manages to bridge the gap between futuristic, cosmic themes and the lost motifs of ancient Mayan civilisations. Incorporating and travelling beyond Evans’ signature large-scale plaster i gures (such as the one pictured), the exhibition also utilises large, painted murals and inl atable kinetic sculptures. See i ve-star review, page 106. Tramway, Glasgow, until Sun 24 Mar. The TV panel show regular is just one of many top comic acts cropping up in the i rst week of this year’s Glasgow Comedy Festival, including Katherine Ryan, David O’Doherty and Tony Law.
