Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big Glasgow welcome to...

0:00:230:00:27

Michael McIntyre!

0:00:270:00:30

Come on, then! Bravo!

0:00:310:00:34

Good evening. Hello!

0:00:340:00:36

Welcome.

0:00:360:00:38

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to my Comedy Roadshow!

0:00:380:00:44

Oh, yeah!

0:00:440:00:45

Right here...

0:00:470:00:49

in my favourite city of them all.

0:00:490:00:52

It's Glasgow!

0:00:520:00:53

The last time I was in Glasgow, I spoke to somebody in the front row,

0:00:580:01:02

which was kind of embarrassing.

0:01:020:01:04

He was there with his glasses. He was holding them like that.

0:01:040:01:07

I was like, "This is weird. Why's he brought his glasses?"

0:01:070:01:10

So I said to him, "What are you doing with your glasses here?"

0:01:100:01:13

Do you have not high hopes for the show?

0:01:130:01:15

Are you reading during my show? Are they reading glasses?

0:01:150:01:19

He just looked at me and went, "I've got a lazy eye!"

0:01:190:01:21

Now, this was awkward, OK?

0:01:210:01:23

You could feel the atmosphere in the theatre shift, so I tried to change the subject.

0:01:230:01:28

"What's your name?" "Iain." I couldn't resist it. "Is that with two Is?"

0:01:280:01:31

It was there for the taking. He set that up.

0:01:310:01:34

Let me introduce you to some people we have in the audience.

0:01:380:01:42

We have Colin and Justin here! How exciting!

0:01:420:01:45

Colin and Justin!

0:01:450:01:46

Neil Lennon, ladies and gentlemen. Neil Lennon.

0:01:480:01:51

CHEERING AND BOOING

0:01:510:01:54

Now, I might have...

0:01:540:01:56

I might have mixed up the biogs. So, Neil, you're an interior designer?

0:01:560:02:02

And Colin and Justin, you manage Celtic? Is that right?

0:02:040:02:07

"First of all, the hoops have to go!"

0:02:070:02:09

"Come on, Colin, let's see what we can do...with the midfield."

0:02:120:02:16

I'm not going to dwell on football

0:02:180:02:20

but it's a wide open championship, as it always is here in Scotland.

0:02:200:02:23

I always love to see the league table. Rangers, 7,210 points.

0:02:230:02:28

Celtic 7,210 points.

0:02:280:02:31

Hearts, seven.

0:02:310:02:33

Anyone could win it. It's wide open.

0:02:330:02:37

It was a taxi driver yesterday who told me not to get into football.

0:02:380:02:43

He said, "I'll give you an example.

0:02:430:02:45

"There was an American tourist that I picked up,

0:02:450:02:48

"and they were in brand-new Rangers... Brand-new kits,

0:02:480:02:52

"with big white shorts and a huge white new trainers."

0:02:520:02:57

And they just said to him, "Hey, we've just been to Ibrox and we've got our new Rangers suits.

0:02:570:03:03

"Can you take us into town?"

0:03:030:03:05

Apparently, the taxi driver said, "It'll probably be quicker if I just take you to A&E."

0:03:050:03:10

Do you think that I've lost weight, though, Colin and Justin?

0:03:160:03:19

I put a lot of weight on, because I have children, and I would eat their food.

0:03:230:03:28

This is what happens. I started to eat it before they'd had a go at it,

0:03:280:03:32

which was when I started to realise, this has to stop.

0:03:320:03:35

Most parents go, eat up all your food.

0:03:350:03:37

I was going, "Hey, leave some for me. Come on, Daddy's hungry."

0:03:370:03:41

I have two children. They're five two years old, Lucas and Oscar.

0:03:410:03:45

It's very difficult to look after two children.

0:03:450:03:47

My wife does an amazing job. All mums do an amazing job.

0:03:470:03:50

-APPLAUSE

-Yes, let's applaud mums! There you go.

0:03:500:03:53

But, when I have to look after them on my own,

0:03:550:03:57

it is actually very, very difficult.

0:03:570:03:59

I'll take them to the park and they run in opposite directions

0:03:590:04:03

and I have a split second to pick my favourite. Oh!

0:04:030:04:06

He's quite cute, but he shows academic promise...

0:04:080:04:11

They watch a lot of TV, I'm not going to lie to you.

0:04:130:04:15

I plonk them in front of the TV.

0:04:150:04:17

I've got TVs in the car.

0:04:170:04:19

I've even strapped a DVD player to the baby's buggy. Watch that!

0:04:190:04:23

What annoys me about children's TV is the adverts.

0:04:250:04:27

They have these adverts for toys we have to buy.

0:04:270:04:30

They're like, "Daddy, I want this, I want this Transformer! I want it."

0:04:300:04:33

It's always rubbish, and I buy it, and I can't get it out of the packaging.

0:04:330:04:37

You need the smallest screwdriver known to man

0:04:370:04:40

to access the battery compartment of toys, and you can't buy them.

0:04:400:04:44

You have to wait until Christmas Day

0:04:440:04:46

and hope you get the cracker with the miniature screwdriver set,

0:04:460:04:49

otherwise you have no chance of getting in.

0:04:490:04:53

And what winds me up even more is they have adverts

0:04:550:04:57

aimed at parents on children's television.

0:04:570:05:01

Their theory makes sense - that the adults are watching telly

0:05:010:05:04

with their kids, but my kids shouldn't be watching this shit, OK?

0:05:040:05:08

"Washing machines live longer with Calgon!"

0:05:080:05:11

My children sing this in the car.

0:05:110:05:14

I'm like, # She'll be coming round the mountain... #

0:05:140:05:16

"Washing machines live longer with Calgon!" I don't need that.

0:05:160:05:20

I asked my son what he wants for his birthday.

0:05:200:05:22

He wants Cillit Bang for his birthday. But why?

0:05:220:05:27

Why do you want Cillit Bang?

0:05:270:05:29

You're a five-year-old-boy.

0:05:290:05:31

"Daddy, it is amazing. It gets rid of lime scale, grease, soap scum, grime.

0:05:310:05:35

"The results are truly outstanding."

0:05:350:05:38

Then my other son ran in. "Bang, and the dirt is gone!"

0:05:380:05:41

Are you sure there's nothing else I can get you?

0:05:440:05:46

"I want to consolidate all my debts into an easily affordable and manageable monthly lump sum."

0:05:460:05:52

I got them a trampoline which I'm enjoying more than them

0:05:530:05:55

cos I can see into my neighbours' gardens.

0:05:550:05:57

It's exciting. "Oh, they've got a new barbecue. That's massive.

0:05:570:06:01

"Look at this, darling." My wife and I jump together.

0:06:010:06:03

"Oh, a gazebo. I never thought of that.

0:06:030:06:05

"They've got a trampoline too."

0:06:050:06:07

The other day I was bouncing and so was the neighbour. "Oh! Argh! Jesus!"

0:06:070:06:11

You don't get that much fun as an adult.

0:06:130:06:15

The most fun we get is revolving doors.

0:06:150:06:17

That's the only real fun.

0:06:170:06:18

There's no reason for them, revolving doors.

0:06:180:06:21

It's normally next to a normal door.

0:06:210:06:23

You walk towards the building you can see... Do I revolve in?

0:06:230:06:27

Or do I do...? You have this option.

0:06:270:06:29

That's easier, isn't it? But no, people will always prefer this.

0:06:290:06:33

This is much more fun.

0:06:330:06:35

That's the life, isn't it?

0:06:390:06:40

Also, you don't have to hold it for anyone.

0:06:440:06:46

When you open the door and you have to look behind you and see...

0:06:460:06:50

Then you have to judge the distance of the person.

0:06:500:06:53

Oh, is it worth waiting for this...?

0:06:530:06:55

Sometimes you look at them and go, "Sorry, I..."

0:06:550:06:59

But revolving doors can be quite tricky, as well.

0:07:020:07:05

Especially when you're with somebody and the segments are coming round.

0:07:050:07:08

They go in the segment and they look to you, "Are you coming in my segment?"

0:07:080:07:12

"I don't know. All right, I'm in your segment with you. It's a bit cramped.

0:07:120:07:16

"I should have taken my own segment!"

0:07:160:07:18

Or they'll take a segment. "You go, I'll take my own segment.

0:07:210:07:23

"I'm fine! I'm in my own segment."

0:07:230:07:26

Then some complete stranger... "Get out of my segment!"

0:07:260:07:29

Or they have those automatic revolving ones in airports.

0:07:340:07:37

Huge, big ones, with a flower display in the middle.

0:07:370:07:41

-SCOTTISH ACCENT:

-Is that something you guys added?

0:07:410:07:43

You know what this revolving door needs?

0:07:460:07:49

You know, when you walk into an airport, for two to three seconds...

0:07:490:07:53

There's no shrubbery. We could definitely jazz it up a bit.

0:07:530:07:57

Can I congratulate both of you, though, on being so kind

0:07:580:08:01

to people at the beginning of 60 Minute Makeover?

0:08:010:08:05

Just once, I think you should do a Christmas edition, where you're more honest. You know?

0:08:050:08:09

When you just walk in and go,

0:08:090:08:11

"What a pile of shit.

0:08:110:08:13

"Do you live like this? You seriously...? Are you blind?

0:08:160:08:19

"Hideous. Justin, I'm queasy.

0:08:200:08:23

"Take me outside. I'm going to vomit.

0:08:230:08:25

"Oh! Ah.

0:08:250:08:29

"I've just vomited on your sofa and it's improved it.

0:08:290:08:33

"I'll see you in 60 minutes. You disgust me."

0:08:370:08:40

OK, I'm going to bring on my first guest of this evening.

0:08:470:08:50

You are in for absolute treat. He is a fantastic comedian.

0:08:500:08:54

It is a pleasure to have him.

0:08:540:08:56

Please welcome the fantastic talent of Mr Milton Jones, ladies and gentlemen!

0:08:560:09:00

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:09:000:09:02

-So, good evening! AUDIENCE:

-Good evening!

0:09:160:09:20

< Hey!

0:09:200:09:23

Some weird people about, aren't there?

0:09:230:09:25

I was sitting in traffic the other day...

0:09:270:09:30

and I got run over.

0:09:300:09:31

My grandfather, he can't do what he used to, bless him.

0:09:430:09:46

You know, bomb the Japanese.

0:09:460:09:48

My other grandfather, he would never, ever throw anything away.

0:09:540:09:58

I bet he died in the war, holding on to a hand grenade.

0:09:580:10:01

My other grandfather...

0:10:060:10:08

..his last words to me were, "you selfish boy".

0:10:100:10:13

Not long after that I became a fishmonger.

0:10:130:10:16

My other... Sell fish.

0:10:260:10:27

My other grandfather... LAUGHTER

0:10:330:10:36

Has got a metal plaque on his forehead dedicated to a park bench that died.

0:10:360:10:41

My other grandfather...

0:10:460:10:48

He broke his leg by standing on the doormat.

0:10:480:10:51

Probably should have explained to him the concept of a helter-skelter.

0:10:510:10:55

Students can study all sorts of things these days, but then the exams are a lot easier.

0:11:000:11:05

I know this because I recently passed an exam in cheerleading.

0:11:050:11:10

I just went in and said, "give me an A," and they did.

0:11:100:11:13

I just went back to my old school, first time in 20 years.

0:11:210:11:24

I took a note.

0:11:240:11:26

I went back for the funeral of my old science teacher.

0:11:300:11:33

They asked me to say a few words, so I did.

0:11:330:11:36

Method.

0:11:360:11:38

We put the coffin in the crematorium.

0:11:380:11:41

Observations.

0:11:430:11:46

It burned with an orange-y bright flame.

0:11:460:11:48

Conclusion.

0:11:510:11:53

No more homework.

0:11:530:11:55

I was talking to a nurse the other day.

0:12:040:12:06

She said the main problem facing the NHS is Holby City.

0:12:060:12:10

Actually, she might have said, obesity.

0:12:130:12:15

She was eating a cake at the time.

0:12:220:12:25

I think if I had unlimited money I'd hire two private investigators

0:12:280:12:32

and get them to follow each other.

0:12:320:12:34

I would just like to say to the old man who was wearing camouflage gear

0:12:420:12:46

and using crutches, who stole my wallet earlier...

0:12:460:12:50

You can hide, but you can't run.

0:12:500:12:52

I was walking along today, and on the road I saw a small dead baby ghost.

0:12:580:13:04

Although, thinking about it,

0:13:060:13:09

it might have been a handkerchief.

0:13:090:13:12

Tricky, isn't it? If you've got to text someone that one of their

0:13:210:13:24

relatives has died, and your name is Lol.

0:13:240:13:28

May he rest in peace...

0:13:420:13:45

Lol.

0:13:480:13:50

This year, I went home for Christmas.

0:13:550:13:58

Couldn't get in the door.

0:13:580:13:59

Too many grandads.

0:13:590:14:01

So what's it like, then, to have voices in your head?

0:14:110:14:13

I hear you ask.

0:14:130:14:15

Hopefully, I've got a book coming out soon.

0:14:210:14:23

I shouldn't have eaten it, really.

0:14:230:14:26

Well, it's great to have been here.

0:14:340:14:36

I'll leave you with this.

0:14:360:14:37

My other grandfather...

0:14:390:14:41

I remember years ago,

0:14:430:14:45

being in his house and on the table there was a chocolate cake.

0:14:450:14:50

And he looked over at me, and he said, "Go on!

0:14:500:14:53

"No-one's looking."

0:14:550:14:57

I said, "What, really?" He said, "Go on!

0:14:570:15:00

"No-one's looking."

0:15:010:15:04

So I got up, and I punched Grandma.

0:15:040:15:07

That's all from me. Have a good night. Thank you very much.

0:15:120:15:15

We love Milton Jones!

0:15:260:15:28

Wonderful.

0:15:300:15:32

So you know what this is, don't you? This is my show.

0:15:320:15:37

This is the Michael McIntyre Comedy Road Show.

0:15:370:15:39

And the BBC just asked me if I had any ideas on how to promote the series, and to do trailers.

0:15:390:15:44

And I've just put in a request. I don't know if they're going to go

0:15:440:15:47

with it, but we're on after Casualty, and I've asked if I can be in Casualty.

0:15:470:15:52

I want to be lying on a gurney, just coming down the corridor,

0:15:520:15:56

and then just go, "watch my show straight after this." We'll see if they go for it.

0:15:560:16:02

All right, ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for my next guest of the evening?

0:16:050:16:09

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:16:090:16:11

It gives me great pleasure to introduce a man who is definitely going to go on to wonderful things.

0:16:110:16:16

Please welcome to the stage Daniel Sloss, ladies and gentlemen.

0:16:160:16:19

Hello!

0:16:280:16:31

Ladies and gentlemen. Are you well this evening?

0:16:310:16:33

Yes!

0:16:330:16:35

As you can tell, I'm, like, 19, which is weird - being young and doing this job.

0:16:350:16:38

Can't do stuff older comedians can do.

0:16:380:16:40

You'll see older comedians who come on stage and brag about having sex with women half their age...

0:16:400:16:45

LAUGHTER

0:16:450:16:48

Tends to be frowned upon, really.

0:16:520:16:55

I can't tell sex stories for two reasons. One, I look like this.

0:16:570:17:01

If I were to tell a sex story, it would look and

0:17:030:17:05

sound like a child reading out a molestation charge in court.

0:17:050:17:09

I'd be standing there going, "First...she took her trousers off.

0:17:110:17:17

"And then she took my trousers off."

0:17:240:17:26

I might as well be holding a doll at this point, pointing out where she touched me.

0:17:260:17:29

The other reason is, I'm 19.

0:17:310:17:33

I'm not going to lie you - I don't have that many sexual experiences.

0:17:330:17:36

If I were to tell a sex story it would go along the lines of...

0:17:360:17:39

"I had sex! Yes!"

0:17:390:17:43

"In your face, Dad!"

0:17:470:17:49

And nobody wants to hear that.

0:17:510:17:53

Especially not my girlfriend's dad.

0:17:530:17:55

I love my girlfriend. She's beautiful. She's funny. She's smart.

0:17:570:17:59

She's way out of my league. And those aren't my words.

0:17:590:18:02

Those are her dad's...

0:18:020:18:04

in a letter he wrote to me at Christmas.

0:18:040:18:07

Covered in his own tears, which was nice of him, but, er... She's good.

0:18:070:18:11

We've been together for about just over a year, and she says she's open to a lot of things, sexually.

0:18:110:18:17

Apparently one of those things isn't criticism.

0:18:170:18:20

She was doing it wrong.

0:18:240:18:26

No, she's better than my ex-girlfriend. I hated my ex-girlfriend.

0:18:280:18:31

She called me Dan, because it was short for Daniel.

0:18:310:18:34

I called her Luce because...she was a slag. It was...

0:18:340:18:39

It's weird being young as well, though, because the media just

0:18:440:18:47

hate us, because we're stabby little things, apparently.

0:18:470:18:50

One of my favourite ones comes from the comic book The Sun... Er...

0:18:500:18:54

LAUGHTER

0:18:540:18:56

And they said, "Did you know a shocking 60 per cent of teenage stabbings were due to disagreements?"

0:18:560:19:02

D'oh!

0:19:040:19:06

I've never stabbed someone because they agreed with me!

0:19:060:19:10

"Dan, that was a great pub." "I know, you bell-end." It's not right.

0:19:100:19:13

My favourite one was they came out, about Glasgow, and they said, "You are not more likely

0:19:150:19:20

"to be stabbed in Glasgow than anywhere else in the world.

0:19:200:19:24

"But, if you are stabbed in Glasgow, you're more likely to be stabbed repeatedly."

0:19:240:19:30

Because in Glasgow, when you commit a crime, you commit a crime!

0:19:300:19:34

So I'm still living at home with my parents, though, which

0:19:400:19:42

is quite funny because my dad, he's a very technical man, my dad.

0:19:420:19:45

He's good with me and my brothers. I've got two little brothers.

0:19:450:19:48

One's a six year-old, and the other one's a dickhead and...

0:19:480:19:52

We mess around with him a lot. Whenever we go on family holidays

0:19:540:19:57

and we get to the airport, when my dad gets to the metal-detector machine,

0:19:570:20:01

just as he starts to undo his belt, me and my brothers go, "No, Dad, I'm sorry!"

0:20:010:20:05

It's the best way to start a family holiday, I tell you.

0:20:070:20:10

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:20:100:20:14

He's very smart. He's very good with computers, and I'm not.

0:20:140:20:17

I can find the porn, and that's about it. Now...

0:20:170:20:20

One day my computer broke and I went, "Dad, do you mind fixing my computer?"

0:20:200:20:24

And he did the standard dad thing. He went, "OK, I'll fix it, right?

0:20:240:20:26

"But what I want you to do is I want you to watch

0:20:260:20:28

"me fix it so next time it breaks, you know how to fix it, right?"

0:20:280:20:32

And I just went, "Yeah, whatever, dickhead, right?"

0:20:320:20:35

So he's sitting there, fiddling away. With the computer, not himself.

0:20:350:20:38

Not that kind of family.

0:20:380:20:41

"What are you doing?" "Leave me alone."

0:20:410:20:43

It's probably not even broken, actually. But I was sitting

0:20:430:20:46

there, ignoring everything he said, and he then went to the internet.

0:20:460:20:50

He then went to the browsing history, and the Argos catalogue of porn revealed itself.

0:20:500:20:56

Now, we'd both seen it. I couldn't pretend I hadn't seen it.

0:20:560:20:58

I couldn't look away, because that would be acknowledging it.

0:20:580:21:00

I couldn't look at him because I was unsure if he still loved me.

0:21:000:21:04

Now, this means the longer we're staring at the screen, the more titles he's able to read.

0:21:040:21:09

This stuff is bookmarked and favourited.

0:21:090:21:11

He learns more about me in this five minutes than he's ever wanted to know about me before.

0:21:110:21:16

And the only thing he can do, after two minutes of horrible silence,

0:21:160:21:20

was move the mouse over one particular website and just go,

0:21:200:21:24

"That one's good."

0:21:240:21:26

Oh, God!

0:21:260:21:28

The reason I'm sort of worried about getting old as well is... I'm not worried about being old.

0:21:350:21:39

I'm worried about the next generation of kids, because my brothers scare the crap out of me.

0:21:390:21:43

The dick is a 10 year-old. He's very smart.

0:21:430:21:46

He's a lot smarter than I ever was that age.

0:21:460:21:48

The other day I was in my room and he came in.

0:21:480:21:50

He's like, "Daniel, Daniel, Daniel! We learned something awesome at school."

0:21:500:21:54

Oh! "I don't care." "No, no, go on."

0:21:540:21:55

"Right, what is it?" "Did you know the tongue has memory?"

0:21:550:21:59

"No, possibly because you made that up."

0:21:590:22:02

"No, honestly. Because, you know, when you think of something sweet, your mouth starts to salivate?"

0:22:020:22:08

"Yeah, kind of."

0:22:080:22:10

"And if you think of something sour, it starts getting all tangy in your mouth."

0:22:100:22:14

"Kind of." "Well, apparently, if you pretend to shake a salt shaker on your tongue, you can taste salt."

0:22:140:22:20

Now, none of you got this, and neither did I, which is why, for the next 30 seconds, I did this.

0:22:200:22:26

"Just like this?" "Yeah, just like that." "OK."

0:22:290:22:32

"It's not working." "Show Mum. Show Mum."

0:22:320:22:34

"Mum!" "What?"

0:22:340:22:36

"What are you doing?" "I'm trying to taste salt."

0:22:380:22:40

"Oh, you little git!

0:22:420:22:45

It's been a pleasure. I'm Daniel Sloss. Enjoy the rest of the night. Cheers.

0:22:450:22:50

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:22:500:22:53

Slossy! Well done.

0:22:530:22:55

Daniel Sloss, ladies and gentlemen!

0:22:550:22:57

19 years old!

0:22:590:23:02

19 years old!

0:23:020:23:03

God that winds me up! I went on your...

0:23:050:23:11

One of the most optimistic sentences I've ever read in my entire life, "the Glasgow open-top bus tour."

0:23:110:23:17

-I went on it yesterday.

-CHEERING

0:23:170:23:19

It's quite good. I really enjoyed it, learning about the city.

0:23:190:23:23

There is this one bit, though, when you're driving down the road, and I

0:23:230:23:26

had the headphones in and it said, "on your left is the Glasgow SECC "conference centre,

0:23:260:23:30

"home of many international conferences and rock events."

0:23:300:23:34

Then at the end of the road, the bus turns around and it goes,

0:23:340:23:37

on your right is the Glasgow SECC exhibition centre...

0:23:370:23:41

You can't do it twice!

0:23:410:23:42

-Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to keep the comedy coming. Are you ready for my next guest?

-Yes!

0:23:470:23:52

I've watched this man for many, many years. He is absolutely wonderful.

0:23:520:23:56

It is a treat to have him here.

0:23:560:23:58

Please go wild for the wild man, Mr Craig Campbell!

0:23:580:24:02

MUSIC: "Sixteen Tons"

0:24:020:24:06

' # Another day older and deeper in debt

0:24:060:24:08

' # Saint Peter, don't you call me, cos I can't go...'

0:24:080:24:12

# I owe my soul to the company store. #

0:24:120:24:15

How you doing, Glasgow? Nice to be out here.

0:24:170:24:19

They were running out of raw meat backstage!

0:24:190:24:23

I love being in Glasgow.

0:24:230:24:25

I love being in Scotland.

0:24:250:24:26

Part conversation, part puzzle.

0:24:260:24:30

With always the threat of a head-butt.

0:24:300:24:34

I'm Canadian of Scottish heritage, of course, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. CHEERING

0:24:410:24:47

I do enjoy being in this part of the world, though.

0:24:470:24:49

Nowhere else like it. You're the only people that will correct me on the pronunciation of my own name.

0:24:490:24:54

"Nice to meet you, my name's Craig."

0:24:540:24:56

"Pleasure to meet you, Craig."

0:24:560:24:58

And if you're watching this and you haven't been to Scotland

0:25:060:25:10

and if you haven't been to Glasgow, get yourself up here.

0:25:100:25:12

There's something that everyone in this theatre knows that you won't know your first time in Scotland.

0:25:120:25:17

If you come to Glasgow and you're on Sauchiehall Street

0:25:170:25:20

at two o'clock in the morning, which if you come to Glasgow you will be on Sauchiehall Street

0:25:200:25:25

at two o'clock in the morning. And when you buy yourself a pizza,

0:25:250:25:29

you will quickly find out that it's everyone's pizza.

0:25:290:25:33

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:25:330:25:36

"Go ahead. Enjoy it our pizza, fellas."

0:25:430:25:46

My mother taught me never to argue with five guys wearing the same shirt.

0:25:460:25:51

Nothing panics you.

0:25:580:26:00

That's the great thing about the British public.

0:26:000:26:02

I'm from a part of the world where people get emotional.

0:26:020:26:05

"I wanted cream in my coffee! That's milk!"

0:26:050:26:08

In John O'Groats to Land's End, the same reaction. Bit of a problem?

0:26:110:26:14

Don't let your face know.

0:26:140:26:15

"Oh, my hair's on fire.

0:26:180:26:21

"Bit of a negative development."

0:26:210:26:24

Have you ever been around Americans when they freak out when there's no problem?

0:26:270:26:30

"I said pepperoni!

0:26:300:26:32

"Never made pizza before or something?

0:26:420:26:45

"You want someone to hop that counter, show you how to flip pizzas back there?

0:26:460:26:50

"You want that going on right here, right now?"

0:26:500:26:53

"Jesus, man. We were hungry and now we're running from the cops."

0:26:530:26:57

I always love a good British reaction.

0:26:590:27:00

"We could remove the mushrooms ourselves.

0:27:000:27:03

"It's a little bit of free food, as far as I'm concerned.

0:27:050:27:09

"You are looking at breakfast.

0:27:090:27:11

"Oh, my hair's on fire."

0:27:130:27:15

I just love the fact that you don't...

0:27:220:27:24

You don't help anybody out that's not from here.

0:27:240:27:26

Everybody gets into this place and you got all the same game to play.

0:27:260:27:30

There's no speed limit signs on the motorways.

0:27:300:27:33

I don't know if you've noticed, you don't bother to put up signs

0:27:330:27:36

to inform anyone who perhaps wasn't born among you...

0:27:360:27:39

..as to what speed maybe they should be travelling, no?

0:27:440:27:46

We've got to try and figure out from how everyone around us is driving

0:27:460:27:50

what the speed might be.

0:27:500:27:52

If you asked anybody from another country,

0:27:520:27:54

"What do you think the speed limit is?"

0:27:540:27:56

"I don't know, 110? Is it 110 here?

0:27:560:27:59

"During the day? Maybe 100 at night. I don't know - what is it?

0:27:590:28:02

"Surprise me. 70?!

0:28:020:28:04

"What a surprise, wow."

0:28:040:28:06

The speed no-one's doing, that's the one you chose. Good for you.

0:28:060:28:09

I love the fact that you don't bother to put up speed limit signs, but you've got a camera every 40ft.

0:28:120:28:17

And clearly nobody gives a crap about that!

0:28:170:28:20

I've never lived amongst such defiance! That's what I'm telling you.

0:28:200:28:24

I've never lived among so many people that can actually say, "I don't care any more!

0:28:240:28:30

"Aaaaaaagh!

0:28:320:28:35

"I can't believe I still have a licence! Ha-ha!

0:28:400:28:43

"It's my car, but whose plates?

0:28:430:28:46

"I wonder whose plates they might be."

0:28:460:28:48

It's the angst that I love about you, the British angst.

0:28:480:28:51

Everybody here has a bit of...aaaagh! ..in them.

0:28:510:28:54

It's what Canadians have none of.

0:28:540:28:55

I don't know if you've been there, but, "I think I hear a parade."

0:28:550:28:59

"Oh, it's only an ice-cream truck, everybody. Stand down."

0:29:020:29:05

The nation I represent.

0:29:070:29:09

If you thought the Swedes were a pack of weenies...

0:29:090:29:13

And if you didn't, go ahead and visit Stockholm for a couple of days.

0:29:130:29:16

"We invented the cheese cutter first."

0:29:160:29:19

Take your own life.

0:29:240:29:25

The Swedes wind me up something fierce.

0:29:300:29:32

They probably don't react with the Scots the same,

0:29:320:29:34

but for Canadians they wind me up,

0:29:340:29:36

cos they are the safest people on the planet, and I only know that

0:29:360:29:39

because Canadians are the second safest people on the planet,

0:29:390:29:43

and we've constantly got Sweden on the phone trying to find out

0:29:430:29:46

what the next safe thing we should be doing is.

0:29:460:29:49

"Hello, Sweden - it's Canada again.

0:29:490:29:50

"We're just sitting around the house trying not to hurt ourselves.

0:29:500:29:54

"Thought you might have another healthy tip or a pointer."

0:29:560:29:59

"If I were you, I would drive during the day with my lights on."

0:30:010:30:07

"Sounds like a great idea, Sweden!

0:30:150:30:18

"We will implement that as law, immediately."

0:30:180:30:22

For 20 years, I've been driving during the day with my lights on by law,

0:30:220:30:26

and I brought that habit to live among you for the last 12 years, in the UK,

0:30:260:30:30

and I've never lived amongst so many generally mild-mannered people

0:30:300:30:34

who will get so infuriated with me for simply driving

0:30:340:30:38

during the day with my lights on.

0:30:380:30:39

I'm talking every second car. "Your lights are on!

0:30:390:30:42

"What the hell's wrong with you?"

0:30:420:30:44

INDISTINCT

0:30:440:30:46

"And he has sunglasses on!"

0:30:460:30:49

It drives you out of your mind.

0:30:540:30:56

I've actually had a pedestrian...

0:30:560:30:58

Whether or not you want to believe this... This is true.

0:30:580:31:01

I had a guy on foot, when I was stationary in traffic, physically assaulting my vehicle.

0:31:010:31:06

"The lights are on!

0:31:060:31:08

"They're on! It's the day!

0:31:090:31:12

"That's the sun! It's behind the clouds, but it's on!"

0:31:130:31:19

Couldn't be a more spectacular place to perform comedy.

0:31:250:31:29

A pleasure to see you, Glasgow. Have a nice life. Take care.

0:31:290:31:32

That was amazing.

0:31:360:31:37

That was amazing. That was Craig Campbell.

0:31:390:31:41

That was superb. Mr Craig Campbell!

0:31:410:31:47

He's one of you!

0:31:480:31:49

Now, it is very difficult.

0:31:510:31:53

I cannot swear on my show on the BBC, so...

0:31:530:31:55

I just find it very difficult not to swear in Glasgow, because it's a way of life here.

0:31:550:32:01

If I needed an example of this, it was at baggage reclaim, where a child,

0:32:010:32:05

OK, I'm putting his age between five and six years old,

0:32:050:32:09

came up to me and said,

0:32:090:32:11

-"Excuse me, are you Michael

-BLEEP

-McIntyre?" What?!

0:32:110:32:15

I'm like, "No, my middle name is James."

0:32:190:32:22

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for our headline act!

0:32:240:32:28

It gives me great pleasure to introduce him to this stage.

0:32:340:32:37

He's had an absolutely fantastic year. He's Glasgow's own.

0:32:370:32:41

What can I say? Mr Kevin Bridges, ladies and gentlemen.

0:32:410:32:44

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:32:490:32:51

Hello.

0:32:550:32:56

Hello, Glasgow. Yeah!

0:33:030:33:07

It's a pleasure to be back on the Comedy Road Show, in Glasgow.

0:33:080:33:12

Last series, I was in Edinburgh.

0:33:120:33:14

Last series, Edinburgh.

0:33:140:33:16

Don't boo. You don't need to boo. They're nice people.

0:33:160:33:19

Edinburgh and Glasgow, same country, very different cities.

0:33:190:33:24

In Edinburgh, when a gun goes off, it's one o'clock.

0:33:240:33:28

And we'll leave it at that.

0:33:360:33:38

It's good, making a bit of national TV.

0:33:400:33:43

I've got a regional accent, so I always sound quite severe on national TV.

0:33:430:33:47

I never realised I had such a strong accent

0:33:470:33:50

until I went to the cinema to see a movie called The Taking Of Pelham 123,

0:33:500:33:55

I don't know if anybody went to the cinema to see this movie?

0:33:550:33:58

It was pretty deserted, the cinema. I don't think that's a reflection

0:33:580:34:02

on the movie itself, more the struggle to obtain tickets in the Glasgow area,

0:34:020:34:09

with the automated cinema ticket booking line.

0:34:090:34:12

They do not do Glasgow accents.

0:34:130:34:16

I phoned up. It was quite simple.

0:34:190:34:21

"Welcome to Odeon. Please state which branch of Odeon you would like to purchase tickets for."

0:34:210:34:26

Now, that's straightforward, because there's one word in the English dictionary

0:34:260:34:30

designed to be said in a Glasgow accent, and it's "Glasgow".

0:34:300:34:34

And then I began to encounter some difficulties.

0:34:420:34:45

"OK, please speak slowly and clearly, stating the full name of the movie

0:34:470:34:51

"you would like to purchase tickets for.

0:34:510:34:52

"If you'd like to hear a full list of movies again, please press one."

0:34:520:34:56

The Taking Of Pelham 123.

0:34:560:34:59

"I'm sorry - I didn't quite catch that.

0:35:010:35:04

"Please, speak slowly and clearly, stating the full name of the film you'd like to see.

0:35:060:35:09

"If you'd like to hear a list of movies again, please press one."

0:35:090:35:12

The Taking Of Pel-ham...

0:35:120:35:14

..123

0:35:160:35:18

"I'm sorry..." I just gave up.

0:35:210:35:24

I thought, I'll show up early and buy my tickets face to face.

0:35:240:35:28

Old school ticket-purchasing.

0:35:280:35:30

However, I picture some Scottish nationalist who would see this as a form of linguistic repression

0:35:300:35:37

and remain on that phone for as long as it took.

0:35:370:35:39

The Tak-ING...

0:35:410:35:43

..Of Pel-HAM.

0:35:440:35:47

One, two, three.

0:35:470:35:49

"I'm sorry - I didn't quite catch that."

0:35:500:35:53

English bastards!

0:35:530:35:54

APPLAUSE

0:35:540:35:57

"Thank you. You have chosen Inglourious Basterds, certificate..."

0:36:030:36:07

I still live in this city here. I've recently moved out.

0:36:100:36:13

I no longer live with my parents, and that's quite cool.

0:36:130:36:16

You get a bit of freedom, a bit of independence that you longed for as a young person,

0:36:160:36:20

from the very first moment you got your taste of independence, when word had spread

0:36:200:36:25

in your school that somebody's mum and dad were going away for the weekend.

0:36:250:36:31

And that the person was having a party.

0:36:310:36:35

The person never knew they were having a party.

0:36:350:36:39

Perhaps "having" would be the wrong choice of word. They were GETTING a party.

0:36:410:36:45

When I was growing up, it was called an "empty." That's what we called it.

0:36:470:36:51

CHEERING

0:36:510:36:53

Which derives from somebody had the house to themselves.

0:36:580:37:01

They had an empty house. Thus, they had an "empty".

0:37:010:37:04

Now, you mustn't confuse the empty with the high school parties that you see in American movies.

0:37:040:37:12

IN AMERICAN ACCENT: Hey, man, do you guys know a kid called Chad Hogan?

0:37:130:37:18

Yeah, everybody knows Chad Hogan, dude.

0:37:210:37:24

He's, like, the coolest kid in high school.

0:37:240:37:26

Well, Chad Hogan's mom and dad are going away to Long Island for the weekend, man.

0:37:260:37:33

There's a party at Chad Hogan's place?

0:37:330:37:36

Yeah. Spring break!

0:37:360:37:38

Then it shows you Chad Hogan's party.

0:37:420:37:44

The guy's booked a band for his living room.

0:37:440:37:48

Everybody's nodding with these plastic cups of beer.

0:37:510:37:55

Great party, Chad! Yeah! Woo!

0:37:550:37:58

A bedroom door swings open. Some guy emerges.

0:37:580:38:01

Guess who got to third base last night, yeah!

0:38:010:38:04

The guy's about 35 years old.

0:38:040:38:07

That's not the kind of parties we had. We never had spring break.

0:38:090:38:13

We had the Easter holidays.

0:38:130:38:15

A lot more tension in an empty.

0:38:170:38:20

Somebody's psycho cousin...

0:38:200:38:22

..would disrupt the ambience

0:38:260:38:29

by announcing he'd purchased 12 cans, drank two, spilled one, but only had seven left.

0:38:290:38:36

Turn that music off. We've got a can thief. Turn that off.

0:38:410:38:43

People are crying with the tension. This guy...

0:38:460:38:50

Somebody else in the corner smoking a joint and blowing it into the Labrador's face.

0:38:500:38:55

An intelligent dog, as well, and it's sitting there frazzled.

0:39:030:39:06

Put a bit in its bowl, eh?

0:39:090:39:11

Ah, come on.

0:39:110:39:13

Yeah, it's the dog's weekend as well, right? Eh?

0:39:130:39:15

Somebody go in the kitchen and get the thing a custard cream.

0:39:170:39:20

Another guy just trying on people's jackets.

0:39:260:39:29

Do you think this one suits me?

0:39:370:39:39

Not even asking does it fit me. Does it suit me?

0:39:390:39:44

The guy's a petty thief, but he's also a fashionista.

0:39:440:39:47

You need to look your best. The same guy that's leaving the house

0:39:470:39:51

at the end of the night, holding a microwave.

0:39:510:39:55

I think you'll find I brought this with me.

0:39:550:39:57

And I don't care for the accusations.

0:40:020:40:06

I mean, why would I steal a microwave?

0:40:080:40:10

Have we got any religious people in?

0:40:210:40:23

I don't mean that in a Catholic-Protestant, let's wreck the place... I just mean...

0:40:230:40:26

I don't really know. I'm neither religious nor atheist.

0:40:360:40:38

I don't have a clue. I think you need to make up your own theories.

0:40:380:40:42

At school I would always take religion over science, because science was quite difficult.

0:40:420:40:47

You had to remember stuff and read stuff, whereas religion was a laugh.

0:40:470:40:53

Just some guilt-ridden woman reading from the Bible to a class full of hyperactive adolescents,

0:40:530:40:59

pissing themselves laughing at a cock and balls on the blackboard.

0:40:590:41:04

You grow up thinking there's a God and he created the world, and if you live a good life

0:41:070:41:12

you go to heaven, live a bad life, you go to hell.

0:41:120:41:15

But if there's a God, why is there so much war, corruption and greed in the world?

0:41:150:41:19

You need to make up your own theories.

0:41:190:41:21

I've combined a bit of religion and a bit of atheism,

0:41:210:41:25

and came to the conclusion that maybe God created the world, but then he pissed off.

0:41:250:41:30

He's God - he's going to have more than one property.

0:41:300:41:34

Maybe he's left us an empty, in the world.

0:41:370:41:40

And that's why there's war, corruption and greed -

0:41:480:41:51

because all good house parties get a bit out of hand.

0:41:510:41:54

Maybe God will come back one day and go, "Look at the state of this place."

0:41:540:41:58

You'd have people like Robert Mugabe and George Bush heading for the exit.

0:41:580:42:02

We never thought he was coming back. Did you see his face?

0:42:020:42:05

He's raging. Did you see his face?!

0:42:050:42:07

The Pope's sitting there. The Pope knows he's getting grounded.

0:42:110:42:14

I'll speak to you in a minute, Pope.

0:42:180:42:20

Ladies and gentlemen, thanks a lot for listening to me.

0:42:230:42:25

Have a great week. Good night. God bless. Thank you.

0:42:250:42:28

Absolutely fantastic.

0:42:320:42:34

Kevin Bridges! Wonderful!

0:42:340:42:38

Kevin's obviously had an amazing year.

0:42:420:42:44

He did the show last year, and he said that somebody

0:42:440:42:47

came up to him the following week in Glasgow and said, "Eh, I saw you on that McIntyre Investigates show."

0:42:470:42:55

Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for everyone we've seen tonight.

0:42:580:43:02

We had Milton Jones, ladies and gentlemen!

0:43:020:43:04

New boy, Daniel Sloss!

0:43:070:43:09

We love Daniel Sloss!

0:43:090:43:11

The absolutely fantastic Craig Campbell!

0:43:110:43:15

And of course, our headliner, Kevin Bridges!

0:43:150:43:20

Thank you very much. Good night.

0:43:200:43:23

Bravo! Thank you.

0:43:230:43:25

Thank you, Glasgow.

0:43:250:43:27

Thank you.
