It took me a long time to not be frightened when coming to Glasgow.
Very early on in my stand up career I was the mc at a large gig and chatted to an Australia tourist in the crowd. I finished our exchange by welcoming the lady to 'England.' The resulting scene was like a much more violent and realistic Braveheart. As I was the MC I had to repeatedly come back on to stage and was hated a little bit more each time. The gig ended with a gentlemen at the back referring to me, entirely correctly on this occasion, as 'a six foot eight tower of pish.'
Mercifully after this hiccup playing Glasgow has always been brilliant fun and I can't wait to perform at the festival. I promise to remember where I am.
Greg will be performing his solo show on Monday28 March at the Garage. Click here for more show information.
