the airwaves as a regular contributor to the Fred MacAulay Show
(BBC Radio). Additionally Raymond adopted a number of guises on the Live
Floor Show , (BBC1) throughout 2002-3. During 2005-6 Raymond has

Kiss and the upcoming These Times ), has appeared in ITV's Rebus
and was recently seen as Happy Boab in BBC Scotland's new comedy Legit.

see him… a masterclass in how to compere a gig’ Edinburgh Evening News
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.
