Glasgow International Comedy Festival Q&A: Stuart Laws

Tell us a bit about your show.

It's about a friend who lost $5000 in Vegas and how he was left with the chance to win it all back in a poker tournament but it was me that had the chance to knock him out. Mainly it's just stupid jokes about vaping, Freddo The Frog and christian football teams.

Do you have any top tips for anything else visitors should do while in Glasgow?

Stay hydrated, go to Tim Hortons every hour, check out some of the illegal rat fighting clubs that I go to to de-stress

Who would you recommend comes to see you at the festival?

I think anyone who has got commitment issues in either direction, anyone who loves illegal rat fighting, people who full name chocolate bars.

And who would you suggest maybe doesn't?

Gregory Danstonian, he was a piece of shit then, he's a piece of sh*t now, if I ever see that guy again I will lose it, I promise I will lose it. Gregory, you're on the list (bad list, not a comp list to my show, you ain't getting a comp you piece of sh*t)

What sets your show apart from others in the programme?

There's a legal rat fight at the 40 minute mark, keeps audience interest at a traditional lull point. I think there's only 4 other shows that have rat fights in them and I'm pretty sure mine is the only legal one (the trick? I use Norwegian rats, they're not part of the EU and so you bypass various legislature)

What's next for you after the Glasgow International Comedy Festival?

Well, I got a couple of big rat fight meetings in Oslo, potential sponsors over there interested in a podcast version, I'm pushing for TV as I think visuals is a major aspect of the rat fighting industry but there's various budgetary issues. I'll probably try and hunt down Gregory Danstonian, give him a piece of mind for serving me a soft drink in a mug.
