 How can we possibly be expected to write a synopsis about
a show that will undoubtedly make you laugh so hard, you’ll end up sh*tting your
pants?
Indeed our Mr Pirie is not big, he doesn’t
carry gold medallions round his neck, he doesn’t have bulging muscles… but DAMN
is he funny!
After continual successes at his Glasgow and
Edinburgh Festival sell out shows, Paul Pirie brings you his very own and very long
awaited one man show. Certainly one not to be missed!
Paul Pirie began his Stand-up career in
April 2004 after giving up acting to pursue the funny man that lies within and quickly
established himself on the Scottish comedy circuit. It should be pointed out that at the
time he was living with his Gran, having given away his flat in a pub quiz.
Paul has had a consecutive succession of sell out shows at
The Glasgow Comedy Festival, most recently in 2007, with his first solo show, “I
Pirie the Fool”.
Previous to this, his comedic ability was recognized in 2006
as he took second place in the Scottish Comedian of the Year Award, and his outstanding
performances and comical writings were included in “Scotland 4 Australia 1”
in 2005 at the Glasgow Comedy Festival, which went on to have a further successful sell
out run in the Edinburgh Fringe at the Underbelly the same year. In 2006 he teamed up with
other comedians to form ‘Four Men and a Little Lady’, which again had
sold out during the Glasgow Comedy Festival in 2006.
In 2005 Paul joined esteemed popular comedy-improv group Dance
Monkey Boy, Dance! (also featuring Raymond Mearns), and has helped with the
development of the group. In 2006 ‘The Boys’ caught the attention of BBC
Radio who recorded the show at the Glasgow Comedy Festival and since then, Dance Monkey
Boy, Dance! have gone on to work under the watchful eye of the BBC to develop regular
radio shows.
Currently Paul appears regularly as the Headline Act, Main
Support or Compere at The Stand in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Ha Ha Comedy, Just
Laugh and Mirth Control as well as other various venues throughout Scotland and
England. |
