Watch our video chats with the stand-up stars heading for the Aberdeen International Comedy Festival including the brilliant Daniel Sloss.
The Granite City is about to become the laughter capital of Scotland as the Aberdeen International Comedy Festival bursts into life.
And to get you in the spirit, we’ve rounded up some of the funny men and women heading our way for this extravaganza of stand-up for video chats – and that includes a rare interview with Daniel.
He tells us about how he got his start in comedy, what to expect from his show when he arrives at the Music Hall on October 14 – and reveals how paintball at Edzell set him on the path to global superstardom.
And, like the other stand-up stars we chatted to, he tells us his favourite joke and what he would say to “fit like, foo’s yer doos”.
So sit back, enjoy the laughs and check out the great comedians we’ve rounded up for your viewing pleasure.
