The actor who brought Still Game’s Isa to life has announced a new comedy tour starting in the north-east.

Her 25-date Scottish tour starts in Westhill on Friday March 21, and will include stops in Banff, Inverurie, Peterhead, Boat of Garten, Inverness and Aberdeen before finishing in Banchory on April 26.

Breakneck Comedy’s founder, Naz Hussain, said: “This is a brand-new show for 2025, and audiences can expect a lot of laughs as Jane shares stories from a TV, radio, and stage career that spans over twenty years.

“There are some great stories here and – as you might expect from the actress who so memorably brought Craiglang’s best-loved busybody to life in Still Game, there might even be a bit of behind the scenes gossip as well!”
