The American radio variety show hosted by Garrison Keillor comes to the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh for the first of two evenings of music, comedy and storytelling. Special guests are the Battlefield Band and crime writer Ian Rankin.
Starring Tim Russell and Sue Scott.
Keillor is probably best known in Britain as the hugely successful author of books including Lake Wobegon Days, The Book of Guys and, most recently, Me: By Jimmy "Big Boy" Valente, As Told to Garrison Keillor. It was after he began work on an article for The New Yorker that he developed an idea for a radio show with musical guests, comedy sketches and commercials for imaginary products. Twenty-five years and over 800 live performances later, A Prairie Home Companion has become a national institution in the States.
With Andy Stein, Pat Donohue, Greg Hippen and Arnie Kinsella of the Guy's All-Star Band.
