A local stand-up comedy legend is what you call a comedian that’s been around a while and managed to survive and thrive. This accurately describes our guest Kevin McCarron with more than 30 years under his belt. He’s done it all from one man shows, club comedian and numerous visits to the Edinburgh Fringe. In his chat with the duo he freely and openly talks to our hosts, both of whom have a vested interest in learning as much as they can from his experience. Both of whom are themselves budding stand ups.

There’s the origin story, his arrival in the UK in the 70’s and early 80’s and his re-educating himself and becoming a philosophy professor. Also, his experience, and lived experiences with addiction a, subject he’s become quite an authority on, plus a load of jokes too. Kevin also talks about his association with legendary comedy promotor Laughing Horse comedy, which he had a hand in its creation. There’s no hiding the fascination and respect the hosts have for their guest, as they like you get to peak behind the curtain and see the inner workings of a fellow comedian.

Even if you don’t know who Kevin McCarron or you’ve never heard of him. Trust us if you like clever smart intelligent comedy, you’ll like this interview. Even if you prefer dick, fart and arse jokes there’s plenty in this episode you’ll like to.
