A Funny History of Glasgow Walking Tour: With A Professional Stand-Up Comic!
**What Is The Tour?**
Join one of Scotland’s funniest historical tour guides for a light hearted look at the history of Scotland's biggest, most vibrant and funniest city - Glasgow.
We will cover the history of industry, innovation and trade within the second city of the Empire. With tales of unbelievable ingenuity, warmth and humour from the city that brought us some of the world's best comedians - Kevin Bridges, Frankie Boyle, Janey Godley and the king of comedy, Sir Billy Connolly.
Beginning at the iconic traffic cone on top of the Duke of Wellington statue, we will pass the statues of George Square, the inspiring wall murals, the oldest Cathedral in Scotland, and so much more!
In between be prepared for some breathtaking tales, dark stories, bright moments, all the time you will be laughing as well as learning.
Our two main guides at time of writing are Richard Brown, 2019's Scottish Comedian of the Year runner up, and as seen on BBC Scotland's Comedy Underground. And also, Ross Leslie, a 5-time Scottish Comedian of the Year finalist.
We have limited numbers per time slot, so no massive groups in comparison to other similar experiences, so you will receive a more personal experience with lots of access to our guide.
