JIM SMART - Scotland’s established Freddie Mercury tribute
You may have seen Freddie Mercury tributes in the past, but you may not have seen the truly unique and thoroughly entertaining Jim Smart in action. Jim is the master of creating a fantastic atmosphere in any room, where he has the audience truly engaged in this spectacular show, including plenty of audience participation.
Jim Smart has extensive performing experience, entertaining audiences throughout Scotland for 30 years, including 22 years as Scotland's established Freddie Mercury tribute. He is Scotland’s best known and experienced Freddie Mercury tribute – bringing the magic, power, and flamboyance of Queen’s legendary frontman to life in a spectacular performance filled with all the hits you know and love. From the unforgettable anthems to the intimate moments, Jim captures the energy and spirit of Freddie like no other, in a show honed since 2004 and recognised as one of the UK’s most authentic solo Freddie Mercury tributes.
A celebration of Freddie...A celebration of the music... A night to remember... Forever! Don’t miss the exclusive 2026 performance 'FREDDIE 80' celebrating Freddie’s 80th birthday year!
