About Matt Macdonald and George Leeson
Matt and George: Legalise Marinara is a stand-up double act from Matt Macdonald and George Leeson, two self-described declining young starlets of the Scottish Comedy scene making one last push for the big time. Their rapidly deteriorating attention spans are the only thing standing in their way. The show sifts through pasta sauce, brain-rot culture, homunculuses and men's mental health as they mount a bold campaign to legalise marinara. Performed at Hoot 6. For audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Cheap, chaotic and self-aware, this Gen-Z double act is funnier about its own shortcomings than most comedians are about anything. A bargain night out with two comedians who clearly have something going on.
