Christopher Macarthur-Boyd

Some Laugh - Live at the Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow. Hosted by Marc Jennings, Stephen Buchanan, and Stuart McPherson, with guests Greg Hemphill, Raymond Mearns and Christopher MacArthur-Boyd.

Filmed live at Monkey Barrel Comedy in Edinburgh, “Oh No” is the debut comedy special by Scottish stand-up Christopher Macarthur-Boyd, featuring breezy laid-back jokes and stories about depression, tattoos, butter, and the meaning of life. What else can you say when the world ends, you lose your job, and you pee yourself, other than just, “oh no”?

Jack Docherty brings together a jam-packed cast of comedians, actors and famous faces for a riotous celebration of Scotland's most valuable export – its sense of humour. Scotland is a small nation with a big funny bone. It's known the world over for self-deprecation, quick-witted patter and deadpan asides. But what makes it so funny? To find out the answer, this programme delves deep into the BBC Scotland archives to find a century’s worth of classic characters, catchphrases and comedy clips.
