A work-in-progress hour from star of Just One More Gong and Snash Bro's Paddy Linton. A story of growing up in Glasgow with a father battling heroin addiction. Dark, funny and disarmingly honest. Blending sharp stand-up with raw storytelling, drawing on a childhood shaped by addiction, instability and loss in Glasgow's East End. Built from years on the circuit, this is not a show about tragedy, but about how ordinary families navigate extraordinary circumstances. A funny, human and deeply relatable hour that turns a difficult past into something unexpectedly uplifting.
