The show, staged in the Town Hall last Friday, featured a mix of well known TV personalities and locally based talent.
Although this was the 39th Variety Special to be held in the North-east, it was the very first in the Mearns.
Stonehaven Pipe Band got the evening off to a rousing start. This was followed by a brief but unexpected appearance by Alistair MacDonald, who paid tribute to the Marie Curie Nurses and local man Colin Ross, who died earlier in the year. The evening was dedicated to his memory.
Next to take the stage was the Esk Academy School of Dance, performing an Irish Dance and Tango routine, followed by an excerpt from the musical Hairspray.
Doric reciter Pat Fraser then brought the house down with her comical rendition of the poems written by Ian Middleton. She then went on to surprise Marie Curie fundraising manager, Michael Jamieson, by presenting him with a cheque on stage for £1000 from the sale of her recent CD.
Closing the first half was singer/song writer Jody Armstrong from Stonehaven. She pleased the near full-house with renditions of three of her self penned songs.
Compere for the evening was Jim McColl of BBC's Beechgrove Garden and topping the Bill were Scotland's very own Peter Morrison and Alistair MacDonald, accompanied by pianist Alan Kitchen.
For over an hour these stalwarts of Scottish entertainment had the audience captivated.
Mr Jamieson proposed the vote of thanks at the end of the evening, acknowledging the local businesses and individuals who donated raffle prizes and sponsorship.
Speaking after the event, he said: "I can't believe how well the Variety Special has gone. A new event in any town is quite daunting and nerve wracking, but we needn't have worried in this case."The people of Stonehaven made us feel very welcome. In fact, the feedback we've had from those that came to see our Variety Special has been very positive - lots of folk have been asking when we're staging the next one. That's very encouraging.
"Of course, we mustn't forget why we do these shows, which is to raise funds for the home nursing service provided by Marie Curie Nurses in the North-east of Scotland."
