It’s well after the watershed, so it’s time for some dark comedy, a smattering of filth and the occasional silly pun (because life may be bleak, but it’s not ALL doom and gloom). Join Martin Bearne ('Like a deranged Milton Jones, only filthier' ThreeWeeks) for an hour of dark jokes for the dark hour and some 'killer one liners' (Scotsman). As seen and heard on BBC Scotland’s Comedy Underground and BBC Radio Scotland’s The Good, The Bad, and The Unexpected. Scottish Comedian of the Year Finalist.
