Summary: <p>Hello and welcome back to <a href="http://thecomedycast.com/2016/06/08/comedy-cast-comedy-podcast/" target="_blank">The Comedy Cast</a>; today you’ll be hearing from Scottish stand-up comedian Rosco McClelland.</p> <p>Rosco’s from Scotland but he’d just been touring with some Irish comedians in Australia so we got talking about some of the new Irish slang he’d learned from them.</p> <p>We both then profess our undying and unwavering love for American pop/punk masters Weezer, really I love that band and I won’t have a bad word said against them.</p> <p>It seems to me that Scottish comedy is going through a revival, more successful comedians are coming out of Scotland and there are more and more comedy nights all over the country now so I ask Rosco if can he explain this revival and the purple patch Scottish comedy seems to be going through.</p> <p>Search for Rosco on Youtube and you’ll get a ton of rap battles; so I ask him about hip-hop and we talk about him having been a drummer in a punk band before comedy.</p> <p>We speak about how and why Rosco got into comedy, and he tells a great story of trying out his first joke on none other than Kevin Bridges.</p> <p>This doesn’t come up very often but Rosco has an alter-ego character he sometimes gigs as; Rosco McSkeleton, so we had to chat about that, I wanted to dig into the subject and get to know more about the character and why more comedians don’t try playing roles on stage.</p> <p>Rosco won Scottish Comedy of the Year in 2016, so we speak about the competition and what it’s lead on to since winning.</p> <p>And finally then we chat about Rosco’s comedic influences and the comedy shows he used to watch on tele growing up.</p> <p>Rosco McClelland’s Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/rossisacoolguy" target="_blank">here</a></p> <p><strong>Get in Touch</strong></p> <p>Don’t be shy, get in touch with <a href="http://thecomedycast.com/2016/06/08/comedy-cast-comedy-podcast/">The Comedy Cast</a> or follow us on social media</p> <p>If you’d like to get in touch, email me here: spud(at)thecomedycast.com</p> <p>The Comedy Cast on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thecomedycast/" target="_blank">here</a></p> <p>The Comedy Cast on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/The_ComedyCast/" target="_blank">here</a></p> <p>The Comedy Cast on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4V6C8litx6D_2spkwxYFdA" target="_blank">here</a></p> <p>The Comedy Cast on Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/spudcast/" target="_blank">here</a></p> <p>The Comedy Cast on Google+: <a href="https://plus.google.com/107057462800823152469" target="_blank">here</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
