Kev's Comedy Club - Paul Pirie

Paul Pirie is a stand out Scottish stand up comedian. His physical, theatrical presence on stage and his sharp, rapid-fire comedy onslaught is packed with highly entertaining material, blurring the line between real-life anecdotes and flights of fancy.

Shortly after embarking on a stand up comedy career, he was runner-up in the Scottish Comedian Of The Year competition and a member of the Glasgow-based comedy improv group, Dance Monkey Boy.

A confident and intelligent comedian, Paul is a regular performer at the UK’s best comedy clubs and has performed across the world, from Australia to shows for the Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

James Cook is a professional comedian based in Birmingham, UK, with over 1,000 gigs worth of experience as an act and compere. He has performed two shows at the Edinburgh Fringe – Adventures on Air (the one about the radio) and Always Be Rolling (the one about board games). His act has been described as “truly original” (Danny Wallace (off of the telly)), whereas he’s been called “suave and chirpy” by that publishing powerhouse, the Bromsgrove Advertiser, and a “sarcastic raconteur” by the Leeds Metro. For some reason, this means that he has been likened to “the future Frank Skinner” (Birmingham Metro) and “Dylan Moran’s younger brother” (The Stage). How this is possible remains a mystery. A slightly less lazy journalist said that he “shows scant regard for the hackneyed conventions of stand-up” (The Scotsman) which, he’s been assured, is a Good Thing.
