[00:00:00]Oh, so this bit at the beginning I I get to let the people watching at home find the subtitle button.

[00:00:07]>> [laughter] >> This is why it's great gigging in Glasgow. Like as in Scotland as well.

[00:00:12]Just the fact that I don't have to watch too much what I say. Like cuz usually if I do gigs in England, I can see audience members going, "Oh my god, I'm going to have to concentrate now."

[00:00:22]>> [laughter] >> I'll just smile and nod. So, that'll be enough.

[00:00:27]And when Americans hear my accent, they're like, "Oh my god, you're from Scotland? I'm from Dublin as well."

[00:00:40]But now that I'm gigging in Scotland, you're just looking at me going, "Are you Catholic or Protestant?"

[00:00:49]>> [laughter] >> There's a weird thing cuz the Scottish accent is an odd thing, right? Because it's like it's funny, but also and when you go overseas, people can't understand you, but when you go overseas and you're single, that's when it comes into its own.

[00:01:07]If you're single and you go overseas and you're from Scotland, you get a good exchange rate.

[00:01:14]>> [laughter] >> I'm not talking about the value of the pound. I'm talking about the value of the pounding.

[00:01:19]>> [laughter] >> Cuz you might be a monster on this island, but if you go to America or Australia and you just talk, you're immediately like a nine or a 10, man.

[00:01:33]But you go overseas you I used to find myself walking into nightclubs in Australia and I would become more Scottish than I'd ever been in my life.

[00:01:42]I'd be like, "Oh, what is that? A ball bag?

[00:01:47]>> [laughter] >> You can see the Aussies going, "Cranky, HE IS SO EXOTIC."

[00:01:53]>> [laughter] >> HE looks like Ewan McGregor, but he sounds like Shrek.

[00:02:00]>> [laughter] >> That laugh is amazing, by the way.

[00:02:07]>> [laughter] >> I'm hearing it and I feel like I'm doing THE BLEEP TEST.

[00:02:14]>> [cheering] [applause] >> IT'S PROBABLY WHY I'M NERVOUS. I'M GOING TO BE LIKE, "OH GOD, WHAT >> [laughter] [laughter] [laughter] >> I'm going to start the show in a second, by the way. I've not actually started it.

[00:02:45]>> [laughter] >> When you hear the opening line of the show, you'll be like, "Ah, I get why he didn't start with that line."

[00:02:50]>> [laughter] >> Um but I'll start the show now.

[00:02:55]So, I was having a wank in Dubai.

[00:02:57]>> [laughter] >> It's a good place to masturbate and um >> [laughter] >> I was just outside having some lunch, lowered my cutlery and went, >> [snorts] >> "It's time.

[00:03:11]>> [laughter] >> That's enough of vitamin D, time for some vitamin me."

[00:03:15]>> [laughter] >> And I went up to my room, right? And I sat at the side of the bed and I opened up my laptop to watch some gay porn cuz I'm gay.

[00:03:34]>> [cheering] [applause] >> Oh, sorry. Did I hit you, by the way?

[00:03:45]>> [laughter] >> All right. Oh god.

[00:03:47]That's how you catch it.

[00:03:53]>> [laughter] >> One bit of a party popper, like [ __ ] >> [laughter] >> I was so worried that that was not going to pop. I don't think there's anything sadder than when a party popper doesn't pop.

[00:04:09]You know when like the party popper pops, but the party stays inside.

[00:04:17]>> [laughter] >> I'll put that down there. Okay. Um so, I was trying to Oh yeah, so I was trying to watch some Welcome to the My Sexual Community and um Are you nodding? Are you already a already a member?

[00:04:27]Rainbow socks. Yeah, all right. Yeah.

[00:04:30]Having your badge on your chest is such a straight person thing to do.

[00:04:34]>> [laughter] >> I love that you go for the socks as well as if someone's going, "Hey, are you gay?" Yeah, LOOK AT THIS.

[00:04:42]>> [laughter] >> GOOD FOR YOU HAVING THE RAINBOW SOCKS.

[00:04:50]UM HEY, ARE YOU GUYS GAY?

[00:04:54]OH, COOL.

[00:04:55]FIVE OR SIX OF US, COOL. AND UH AND >> [laughter] >> ARE YOU HUMAN?

[00:05:09]>> [laughter] >> ALL RIGHT.

[00:05:15]>> [laughter] >> CAN I BORROW one of those socks?

[00:05:21]>> [laughter] [laughter] >> I HOPE YOU'VE GOT TOMORROW OFF. THIS MIGHT TAKE a while.

[00:05:33]>> [laughter]
