The road from Oban Comedy Club

Big up to all the people of Oban where Paul Pirrie, Raymond Mearns and myself did a show on Saturday night and many thanks to the guys up there who run the show. Here is Paul on a stop we made on the road down. Stops were needed given the hellish hangover produced by the whiskey which flowed at the after hours party. Mobile telephone reception in Argylle is not the best and BT didn't help the situation by providing payphones that don't take money. Coins not accepted, what the f**ck is that about? By the time we managed to get three chickens and a bag of oats through the slot my wife had put the phone down. A prize to anyone who can tell me how you are supposed to use these phones in the rural west highlands.

Bonie Prince Charlie's March to Derby

Here's an excerpt from the show About the Jacobites, where we trace the steps of Bonnie Prince Charlie, prince Charles Edward Stewart as he marched his tartan army down to Derby..... Only problem was he had to march them back to Culloden.

One of the Rober the Bruce heroes

After entertaining a varied crowd at a party night in Pitlochry Ihad a few short ones with pals back in Blackford. For those who have been to my About Robert the Bruce show here's a bit of background. In the foreground is Klunk, who appears in a story along with his good buddy Hut. Klunk is a patriotic Scotsman. If you haven't heard the Hut and Klunk story, you haven't seen the show. Watch out for tour dates of About Robert the Bruce starting in February 2009.

Bruce Fummey Edinburgh Festival Fringe Shows

Tartan Army Robert the Bruce Night

Big thanks to Johnny Kaylor for organising a night for the Perth Tartan Army on 29th Nobember in the 208 in Perth. I performed the About Robert the Bruce show I had done during the Edinburgh Festival. I guess it was a kind of St Andrew's night with a difference. The fact that it followed the St Johnstone v Dundee derby meant a mixed audience, with some dressed for theatre and others pished as farts. It all ended with everyone (apart from Dave) having a good laugh. Thanks to everyone who came along.

Hosting That Monday Night Thing

I have been very lazy of late with posting here, but I have been busy. Here on Monday at the ingeniously named 'Monday Night Thing' at Redrooms in Perth Theatre. Al Pitcher headlined the show and did a grand job, with a sometimes offbeat and zany, but always creative and funny one hour set. Mondays are never an easy night to perform stand up, particularly when people like 'Fred' (wouldn't give his real name) act as atmosphere hoovers by being awkward at the start of the night. Fred, who ever you are, stand up is not for you. You can see a review of this show by Shiela of one4review.com at http://www.one4review.com/Non_fringe_/non_fringe_08_/monday_night_t_.htm
