Small-town comedy & sci-fi author based in Scotland
Kerrie Noor is a contemporary and sci-fi comedy writer who has inflicted her quirky, offbeat humour on audiences far and wide—from the Edinburgh Free Fringe to community radio, rest homes, and anyone who sits still long enough to listen.
A proudly mature woman who’s circled the block more times than she’d care to admit, Kerrie doesn’t shy away from life’s messiness—or her characters’. “I like ’em earthy, ordinary, and believable,” she says. “Then I toss them in at the deep end and see what floats—hopefully something unexpected.”
When she’s not writing about middle-aged belly dancers or intergalactic misfits, she’s probably plotting her next laugh-out-loud performance somewhere in a quiet Scottish town.
Kerrie has been shortlisted for the Ashram Short Story Award and has had two comedy dramas produced for radio.

Men In Overalls
An overall is like a strapless handbag, there is a pocket for everything.
Thanks to a bump on the ferry from a van driven by (as Don put it) a geriatric reversing with her reading glasses on Don’s car had been bashed within an inch of its life.
And Don, swearing like Bunnie on the wrong side of a hangover, insisted on visiting the ‘lads’- a squad of mechanics who...
A five-part comedy-saga of three elderly men and the women who inspired them to strip down to their Long Johns.
The Three Amigos
The Three Amigos were three seventy-something men who fed up with bingo, lunch clubs with piss-weak tea, and queues at the Co-op had decided they wanted more.
What that more was they had no idea until they, under the influence of a pretty decent malt spied The Back Street Boys on TV.
It was back in the good ole days, when blogs were still read, kindle books were a mere...
Advice, when not asked for, is often received with a lot of under-your-breath swearing.
I was in Nairn last weekend for our final performance for the year. And I did it all via public transport.
A few of us were traveling together, and I reveled in the company, with a decent amount of loud banter that would have my mother and ‘ex’ giving me ‘dagger’ looks, while hissing ‘be quiet’.
We went for a swim in the Nairn beach, a long sandy beach reminding me of Australia, well apart from the missing...
My performance on ‘that’ Saturday was a lot of fun, although I could have done with a bit more brushing up on the belly dancing.
I met up with the Howling Fruitcake, one of Luke Wúrmli-Quan's comedy characters. Luke has spent a lifetime performing and has more stories of musicians than my substack page.
You can check out the Howling Fruitcake on the link below, but only if you don’t mind a bit of swearing…
It's been a busy weekend. I spent Saturday trying to remember three stories for a performance in Arrochar. So I have given The Red Cross Shop And The Codpiece a rest this month and treated you to Mavis and Me 'Do' Half-Life. A short story from A Dress For A Queen, an anthology I published a few years ago.
Mavis and Me “Do” Half-Life was my first commission.
“Half Life” was an outdoor art installation held in Argyll that ran for a month. Art and sound pieces were created on ancient stone sites...
