PAUL PIRIE

“a brilliant natural comedian” Edinburgh Evening News

Paul On DAVE TV

 

Paul Pirie began his stand-up career after giving up acting to pursue

the funny man that lies within, quickly establishing himself on the

Scottish comedy circuit as long ago as 2004. It should be pointed out

that at the time he was living with his Gran, having given away the

keys to his flat in a pub quiz. Since this time Paul’s career has

encompassed TV, Film and Radio alongside his burgeoning skill as a

stand-up with Paul emerging as one of the biggest Scottish acts on the

UK comedy circuit.

Paul has since had a consecutive succession of sell out shows at The

Glasgow Comedy Festival and joined esteemed popular comedy-improv

group Dance Monkey Boy, Dance! (also featuring Raymond Mearns), and

has helped with the development of the group. In 2006 ‘The Boys’

caught the attention of BBC Radio who recorded the show at the Glasgow

Comedy Festival and since then, Dance Monkey Boy, Dance! have gone on

to work under the watchful eye of the BBC to develop regular radio

shows.
