People of the Bungo. Bungonians, Bungites, The Bung.

Greetings from The Greater Shawlands Republic. As you may know, the GSR is a satire movement which seeks independence for the south side of Glasgow. To that end, we provide cabaret/comedy events downstairs in The Bungo Bar and Kitchen, Nithsdale Road, on the 1st Sunday of each month.

The main aim of the GSR (autonomy aside) is to provide a high quality comedy night for people in the south side. An alternative to schlepping all the way into town or to the west end for your comedy fix. You could still do that, of course – but we’re on your doorstep and only six pounds. Or six polloks, rather ( the GSR has it’s own currency).

So far, the shows and the feedback have been excellent. We have featured comedians of the calibre and reputation of Fred MacAuley and Phillip Differ, we’ve been featured and interviewed by BBC Radio Scotland’s Comedy Cafe and our gigs are invariably sold-out.

We sincerely believe we’re providing something distinct , valuable and great fun. We want to make GSR at The Bungo the official south side comedy club. You know, “our place”. For the southsiders.

So, come down and join the party some time. It’s Sunday night laughs, a little live music, some close-up magic and and a very friendly atmosphere.
