Moby-Dick returns to Fife
Festival Marquee Hawkcraig Road, Aberdour, Fife, UKWhale-watching in the Forth meets Herman Melville, the American author of Moby-Dick, whose Fife ancestry is becoming better known.
In association with the Aberdour Cultural Association we are pleased to present an evening of whale talk, music and discussion – where past, present and future whale-related activities link arts and sciences across Fife – with citizen scientist Ronnie Mackie, cultural historian and author Dr Tom Hubbard, and sculptor Kenny Munro
From Pictish carvings of dolphins and whales to contemporary artistic responses, we can see how creativity relates to concerns about our relationship with the marine environment.
In recent years, Kinghorn has become an international hub for whale-watching and this is inspiring many creative projects and inspiring a Public Art Literary Trail across Fife. Tonight’s panel will explore Fife’s international cultural connections, with a short film about Melville’s visit to Scotland in 1856, as well as an introduction to existing and planned projects, and the chance for audience members to suggest future initiatives.

Comedy Night
FeaturedFestival Marquee Hawkcraig Road, Aberdour, Fife, UKThe Aberdour Festival in association with Mirth of Forth productions are delighted once again to present an evening of comedy with award-winning comedian, writer and actor Ray Bradshaw supported by David Eagle and compered by Susan Morrison.
Ray Bradshaw is an international, multi award-winning stand-up comedian who has sold out shows globally. Ray was handpicked to support John Bishop on his recent UK arena tour and has previously supported Frankie Boyle on his last two tours.
His own previous three tour shows have been performed in both English and British Sign Language; the first, Deaf Comedy Fam, was a huge success and won awards both in the UK and Australia, leading Ray to become the first comedian ever to win a Scottish Culture Show Award.
His most recent show Deaf Com One did a 60-date tour in the Uk, Australia and New Zealand and resulted in nearly 800 deaf audience members coming to their first ever stand-up show.
Ray is also a regular host of the hit Radio Scotland show Off the Ball.
David is a member of three-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winning band The Young’uns. In 2018 he branched out into stand up and is now a Radio 4 regular, with his own stand-up series ‘See No Eagle’ and multiple appearances on The Now Show. In 2024 he made his TV debut, performing stand up on Dave’s “Rosie Jones’s Disability Comedy Extravaganza”. His stand up explores how being blind often transforms everyday life into surreal, surprising comic adventures. One of his accordion-driven songs was described in The Guardian as "a comic tour de force." He has won numerous awards including The Spirit Of The Fringe Award at 2024’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival and his debut solo show, The Eagle Is Candid, won Best Variety Show at Leicester Comedy Festival and was nominated for Best Show at Edinburgh Fringe. In 2019 he was crowned New Comedian Of The Year by Leicester Square Theatre, and at both Bath and Nottingham Comedy Festivals.
The evening will be compered by award-winning Scottish comedian Susan Morrison. Susan has been an MC at The Stand Comedy club since the day it opened, and she has taken to the stage in clubs from Bournemouth to Berlin. She is a writer, broadcaster and comedian with two grown-up children and a very patient husband. She's rubbish at organising, has a complete lack of self-discipline, is utterly terrible at most things house-work related, but she does like ironing. Denies she is obsessed with the sinking of the RMS Titanic, but she is!
