The Big Yin
Revisited
Just like his hero Billy
Connolly, Garry Moir used to work in the shipyards on the Clyde. A former
ITV Stars in Their Eyes Winner Garry started performing stand up comedy
six years ago.
Annoyed with continually being told he sounded too much
like the Big Yin he thought stuff it - If ye cannae beat them -
impersonate them.
Over the past four years Ha Ha Comedy has promoted
The Big Yin Revisited festival shows, selling out bigger and bigger venues
every single time.
The Wee Man
With over a Million hits on
Youtube and other video sites, The Wee Man has come a long way since his
first open spot with Ha Ha Comedy.
His brother won our first Gong Show -

- the prize £1,000.
Since then he got through to the final of the
Scottish Comedian of the Year and into the pop charts with Neds Kru.
Patrick Monahan
Patrick Monahan first did an
open spot for Ha Ha Comedy in Sept 2000. He was amazing - even better than
the 3 time Perrier nominated headliner - we took him for a late night
chinese meal before putting him back on the night train to London.
Since then he
has become our favourite Irish Iranian comedian and has followed n
the footsteps of Jimmy Carr and Alan Carr as the warm up man on BBC's
Friday Night with Jonathon Ross.
Johnny Vegas
In the time before his
friendship with a certain monkey Johnny Vegas was a regular with Ha Ha
Comedy. In January 2000 we booked a show for Johnny in a small room ( 70
capacity ) above a pub in Altrincham.
No tickets were sold in advance. If you
were lucky you could only get into the gig by purchasing a raffle ticket
at the downstairs bar from 5pm on the night of the show. A lucky 45
tickets were pulled out the hat for an amazing show.
Over 400 people turned up trying to see
the show - many of the unlucky ones waited downstairs in hope of catching
a glimpse oft the big man. At the end of the night he appeared for them -
bollock naked.
Lucy Porter
Before she hit the big time
Lucy Porter was a regular headliner at Ha Ha Comedy gigs up and down the
country.
Ha Ha Comedy promoted Lucy's first
Glasgow Comedy Festival shows back in 2003, since then she has become one
of the star attractions at festivals across the globe.
Lucy Porter joined us as a special guest
at this years NO2ID gig in Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket.
Nina Conti
A long standing regular
headliner at Ha Ha Comedy gigs, BBC New Comedy Award Winner Nina Conti had
her first Glasgow Comedy Festival shows promoted by Ha Ha Comedy. Nina's
2003 show was the very first festival show to sell out.
Since then Nina has gone on to star in
many TV and adio comedies, most notably with Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey
in Black Books.

Ha
Ha Comedy has produced & promoted the Radio Clyde star's sell out Glasgow
Comedy Festival shows for the past 5 years, culminating in a critically
acclaimed show in Glasgow's City Halls which was recorded for DVD.
Please
note: Most comedians are lazy incompetent sods, who can't read a train
timetable, or would pay 30 pieces of silver to appear on a pilot for a radio
panel show. Thus all line ups are subject to change.
Please check with the venue 24hrs prior
to the show for confirmation of line ups.
