Not sure what to get that special someone for Christmas? Well it was two days ago so I’m sorry. You’ve fucked it.

Anyway I’m bringing a new Work In Progress to Glasgow Comedy Festival in March and tickets are on sale now.

In the spirit of Christmas I'm going to use my first post to draw attention to something by @cbthorburn.bsky.social that has greatly improved my enjoyment of Jingle Bell Rock

Put all the Scottish and Scotland based comedians I'm aware of on here in this starter pack. I think, I probably missed people, I'm sorry.
