The building, situated in the city’s Trongate was opened in 1859 and closed its doors in 1938 after various changes in ownership. Since then the venue has lain dormant until recently where a restoration project has gotten underway to restore the theater to its former glory.

The theater has played host to a number of acts over the centuries including Stan Laurel before he became part of the famous duo Laurel and Hardy. Now one of the few in existence in Britain and the last of its kind in Scotland the building is being restored slowly but surely.
