EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!
In one line (no pun intended!) How would you describe your comedy?
I do one-liners. Lot’s of silly jokes, clever jokes & a few naughty jokes. I was on the top jokes of the Edinburgh festival list with this one recently…
“Did you know, if you get pregnant in the Amazon, it’s next day delivery”
If you weren’t a comedian what would you be doing?
It could be anything, I’ve had a lot of different jobs. Definitely wouldn’t be working in a call centre answering a phone again, that wasn’t for me…
What’s the best thing about being a comedian And the worst?
The best things is being paid to do something I really love. Getting to travel all over the world making people laugh. Best job in the world.
The worst thing is all of the loooong drives. Sometimes my agent will try to get me to do a show miles away when I really don’t want to sit in the car for hours, so I put my foot down!
You’re amazing at the whole online thing, but even you must get some trolls or aggro.
Occasionally I’ll get a nasty comment and I’ll keep replying to them in the knowledge that the algorithm will see this interaction as a sign that they love my content and therefore will be flooded with my videos over the next week lol
Does being a comedian increase your sex appeal?!
Big time. I’ve had to start recording them on my bed post. Just ask my most recent girlfriend, she’s top notch.
Finally, give us a joke about football as at the time of writing we’re still in the Euros
I remember watching the last Euros thinking, that’s the best Stirlings been since Brexit.

Line-ups are booked purely on merit (ie. how funny each act is), with an emphasis on making sure there’s a variety of comedic styles for you to enjoy throughout the show. A spoonful of observational, a sprinkling of one-liners, a pinch of musical, a dollop of the daft… you get the picture. With all the crap going on in the world, Getaway Comedy is an opportunity to escape to laughter for a couple of hours.
