WHEN It's Always Sunny creator Rob McElhenney hinted that their live podcast show could be heading across the pond to the UK, The Jouker had hoped that a Scottish tour date would be on the cards.
We even pulled together a quick list of reasons why the cast of the hit FX comedy should bring their show to Scotland, after McElhenney, who also owns Wrexham FC with Holywood star Ryan Reynolds, tweeted that it could be a possibility back in January.
Would anyone in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland be interested in a Sunny live show in the Spring? Asking for some friends looking to travel. Will work for food :) 🏴 🏴 🇮🇪 🏴 😎

It's Always Sunny is now the longest-running live-action sitcom in US history, following a group of friends who own an Irish bar in Philadelphia since 2005, and has plenty of fans in Scotland and the rest of the UK.
But alas, just a month later the gang have decided that they won't be bringing their live podcast show, where the cast discusses behind-the-scenes gossip and jokes from the programme, to Scotland.
Instead, they have only booked two stops on their tour - London and Dublin.
With two dates on the cards for London at the Royal Albert Hall, a matinee and evening show on April 16, and a single date in Dublin at the 3Arena in the Irish Capital, The Jouker can't help thinking - why not Scotland?
At least other Scottish fans are taking it as well (or badly) as we are.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
