About Stuart Mitchell
Stuart Mitchell is a leading figure in Scottish comedy, notably recognised as the longest-serving panellist on the BBC Scotland satirical programme, Breaking the News. His rise within the industry is mirrored by an immense digital presence, where his content has amassed over 50 million views on TikTok. He first gained major critical attention at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016 with his debut show, Dealt a Bad Hand, performed at The Pleasance Courtyard. This success was sustained by his 2018 follow-up, Gordon Ramsay’s Karma Café, which secured a series of four and five-star reviews.
His reputation for high-calibre performance led to him being handpicked for the prestigious Best of the Edinburgh Fest showcase. This saw him touring major international comedy circuits, including festivals in Perth, Adelaide, and Melbourne, following the path of established stars such as Craig Ferguson and Paul Merton. Mitchell's comedy is defined by a sophisticated blend of clever wordplay and rapid-fire one-liners, delivered with a sincere and approachable stage manner.
