00:00No disrespect to anyone down south, but they are not as good.

00:04The amount of absolute sharpshooters that we have up here in terms of comedy is incredible.

00:12We've been punched well above our weight.

00:14I would rather work 20 minutes a night than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

00:21People say, oh, Glasgow, Scottish people, they're funnier, they're kinder.

00:26And I think it is just because this, in theory, should be such a miserable place.

00:32It's raining, the weather, the darkness.

00:38We see the sun about two days a year.

00:42And just, I think, historically, people have either just thought, well, we could either lie down and take it,

00:48or we could at least try and have a laugh.

00:52You know, we could try and make something out of this place.

00:54I think that's why Scottish people invented certain things in the past.

00:58I've either killed myself or invented telly.

01:02I do stuff on the internet, you know, get my toes out, whatever else.

01:06But I do actually have a really nice feed.

01:12I'm on a website called wikifeet, I don't know if you care about this bit.

01:16I'm on a website called wikifeet, where someone took pictures of my feet from an online stream that I do,

01:22and put them up on a site called feet, and annoyingly, they're three stars.

01:30Because I think someone made it a five, and they meant it,

01:34and then some jokester from the online community made it a one.

01:39And it really gets the work done.
