60 minutesHoot 6
Matt MacDonald and George Leeson, two declining young starlets of the Scottish Comedy scene have one last chance to make it to the big time before Matt gets compassionately put down and donated to science, and before George’s litany of financial crimes finally come to light. Only one thing stands in their way... their rapidly deteriorating attention spans. The answer to the world’s problems may lie with these two bold Gen-Z pioneers as they sift through pasta sauce, brain-rot culture, homunculuses and men’s mental health in a bold attempt to legalise marinara.

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.
