S ummer's coming to a close after another incredible festival season and it's safe to say that we're probably all collectively shattered. But as the dark nights begin to roll around once again, we'll hopefully be able to get a bit of a rest before the official best
time of the year – aka Halloween – arrives.
Aside from Halloween, there's some cracking festivals to come over the next few months. Cryptic's Sonica is back with another brilliant and diverse programme, with highlights including Max Cooper (page 34) and Yuri Suzuki (page 36). Meanwhile, this year's SQIFF (page 31), Bloody Scotland (page 54) and Dance International Glasgow (page 89) all have inspiring events to look forward to. Elsewhere, we look ahead to some of the great comedy coming up this autumn and winter and speak to Hannah Gadsby (page 20), Eddie Izzard (page 26) and Still Game's Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill (page 22). Plus, we take a peek at the programme for this year's Africa in Motion film festival (page 41) and Electronic Glasgow (page 38), a series of events showcasing the city's finest electronic music.
That's not all though, as we've got our Student Guide (page 102) for you to browse, which features all our tips for eating, drinking, shopping, going out and lots more. Our next issue will be out on 1 Nov and it's guaranteed to be a special one with the announcement of our Hot 100 list. If you're keen on celebrating with us, turn to page 15 to find out how you can join in on the fun at our annual shindig.

AUTUMN COMEDY SPECIAL There's plenty to look forward to over the next few months as far as comedy goes so we thought we'd give the genre some extra love. First of all, Australian comic and our cover star Hannah Gadsby tells us about her brand new show Douglas, which arrives in the UK in October. Elsewhere, we chat to Still Game's Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill and catch up with the ever-interesting Eddie Izzard, ahead of his latest blockbuster show.
