In a three year career that has seen him gig all across Scotland, Glaswegian comic John Ross has managed to cram a lot in. His previous career – playing Latino-style keyboard tunes, badly (is there any other way?) – came in handy when he made his Fringe debut in 2003. “Stand-up:The Musical” also starring Sandy Nelson and Allen Chalmers. The show went on to a successful run at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival of 2004. John has also worked with the popular Dance Monkey Boy, Dance! Improv troupe.

So laid back he’s almost lying down and with a skewed world view that’s all his own, Johns act reduces audience after audience to a giggling mass. He likes that.
