Made in Scotland : my grand adventures in a wee country / by Connolly, Billy,author.; Gittins, Ian,author.;
"After my knighthood was announced, a woman from the BBC came to Glasgow to interview me. We sat down in a lovely hotel in a nice part of town, and she hit me with her first question- "This must mean a lot to you, with you coming from nothing?" I looked at her, and I laughed. "I did'nae come from nothing, "I told her. "I come from something." I grew up in the tenements of post-war Glasgow. I am very proud to be working class, and especially a working-class Glaswegian who has worked in the shipyards. I come from the working class. And, most of all, I come from Scotland. Scotland is a unique and wonderful place. Its national motto says a lot about it - Nemo me impunelacessit. A decent translation might be- 'By all means punch me in the nose but prepare yourself for a kick in the arse.' I did'nae come from nothing - I come from Scotland. And this book is about why I will always be happy and proud that I do."

The Stand Up Sketch Show. by Baptiste, Dane,actor.; Ward, Felicity,actor.; Graham, Ivo,actor.; Dommett, Joel,actor.; Hughes, London,actor.; Kane, Russell,actor.; Walsh, Seann,actor.; Allen, Tom,actor.; BBC Studios (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Dane Baptiste, Felicity Ward, Ivo Graham, Joel Dommett, London Hughes, Russell Kane, Seann Walsh, Tom AllenOriginally produced by BBC Studios in 2019.Takes the funniest routines from the UK’s best-loved comedians, and brings them side-splittingly to life in sketch form. Each act begins telling their story in front of a live audience. As they continue their narration on stage, there’s no need to picture the scene yourself – a surreal short-film reconstruction does the work for you. Every scene sees the comedians play the roles they were born to play – themselves. And as their voiceover describes the action, dialogue in the routines is lip-synced by the sketch performers.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

I'd like to play alone, please : essays / by Segura, Tom,author.;
From Tom Segura, the massively successful stand-up comedian and co-host of chart-topping podcasts "2 Bears 1 Cave" and "Your Mom's House," hilarious real-life stories of parenting, celebrity encounters, youthful mistakes, misanthropy, and so much more. Tom Segura is known for his twisted takes and irreverent comedic voice. But after a few years of crazy tours and churning out podcasts weekly, all while parenting two young children, he desperately needs a second to himself. It's not that he hates his friends and family - he's not a monster - he's just beat, which is why his son's (ruthless) first full sentence, "I'd like to play alone, please," has since become his mantra. In this collection of stories, Tom combines his signature curmudgeonly humor with a revealing look at some of the ridiculous situations that shaped him and the ludicrous characters who always seem to seek him out. The stories feature hilarious anecdotes about Tom's time on the road, including some surreal encounters with celebrities at airports; his unfiltered South American family; the trials and tribulations of parenting young children with bizarrely morbid interests; and, perhaps most memorably, experiences with his dad who, like any good Baby Boomer father, loves to talk about his bowel movements and share graphic Vietnam stories at inappropriate moments. All of this is enough to make anyone want some peace and quiet.
