Christopher Macarthur-Boyd Announces Lemon Tree Show
Comedian heading to Aberdeen with personal material about neurodivergence, sexuality and lunacy.
Christopher Macarthur-Boyd is bringing his new show, Howling At The Moon, to the Lemon Tree on 5 March 2026. The show is explicitly about neurodivergence, sexuality and lunacy, a more specific brief than his previous work.
It’s part of Macarthur-Boyd’s biggest solo tour to date, following a sold-out run at Edinburgh Fringe 2025. The Glasgow comedian has spent the past year co-hosting the chart-topping podcast Here Comes The Guillotine with Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe, which has raised his profile considerably. But this tour is him stepping back into rooms alone with material that sounds more personal than anything he’s done before.

What to know
Macarthur-Boyd released two comedy specials in 2024: Oh No! and Scary Times. The latter toured through autumn before finishing at the 1,500-seat Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow. He’s a regular on BBC Scotland’s Breaking The News, has hosted The Comedy Underground and the BBC New Comedy Award, and has written for 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
The New York Times said he’d “fine-tuned his act and turned the offbeat humour up to 11,” whilst The Scotsman noted audiences were “roaring with laughter from start to finish.” His style leans towards melancholy and carefully constructed material that manages to be both intelligent and laugh-out-loud funny.
The new material
A show focused on neurodivergence and sexuality marks new ground for Macarthur-Boyd. It’s personal subject matter treated through stand-up, which he’s describing as “nocturnal” comedy.
The Lemon Tree is an intimate venue, a room where material that asks for closer attention from an audience tends to work best. Macarthur-Boyd has proven he can fill larger spaces, but Howling At The Moon sounds like it will shine here. Tickets are on sale now.
