About this episode

Des Mclean, a celebrated Scottish comedian, shares his experiences in comedy and acting.

A Billy Connolly favourite; Des Mclean has starred TV, Radio and stages the length of the nation for decades! He's acted in various high profile roles, including Politician Tommy Sheridan, and Celtic legend, Bertie Auld, on Stage at the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow. Just as delighted to get 100 folk laughing in Fintray as 10,000 pishing themselves at the Palace. As Billy Connolly once remarked on air, "There's a guy called, Des Mclean, God I love him!"
