2026 has been an amazing year for Lauder… foillowing a four week residency at 59East59theatres in New York it was back home for four performances in Scotland. Alan Cumming invited me to take Lauder to Pitlochry as part of his Edinlochry Festival. That was followed by two show in Helensburgh. One more to go for this mini Scottish Tour opening the season at The Byre Theatre in St Andrews.
Sept 5th is your chance to see this newly adapted production of Lauder. I hope you can come along.
“"I have seen Jamie MacDougall in many guises, an affable presenter, a tenor at home in anything from folk to oratorio, but he showed a side to him that is rarely seen. He’s a showman, a song and dance man with an infectious sense of humour. His one-man show Lauder is nothing short of one and a half hours of fine, fine entertainment.”
— Dundee Courier
“Do not miss this show if it ever comes back...the heartfelt applause laced with cheers and whistles...deserved acclaim for both Jamie MacDougall and the man he brought brilliantly to life.”
— Scots Gay *****
“.. it’s an incredible central performance from MacDougall that elevates this to an unmissable evening of theatre. MacDougall looks as if he’s having the time of his life and his energy and utter immersion in the role transmit to the audience. His rendition of Stop Your Tickling Jock is the most infectiously funny thing I’ve seen on a stage in a long time – I defy anyone not to laugh. This is a joyful experience, both to watch and to feel a part of. MacDougall is a fine tenor and his beautiful diction and impressive acting skills showcase Lauder’s work at its very best. ”
