Scotland Made the World

Bruce Fummey, the comedian behind the 230k subscriber YouTube channel Scotland History Tours, returns to Fringe with a new show. Laughs galore and quirky observations as Bruce explains how Scotland Made the World.

Every Saturday morning UK time Bruce tells a story from Scotland’s history. This show will deliver more jokes than you’d get from the YouTube videos, and some might even make you blush, but you’ll still leave having learned about Scotland’s role in the world while you laughed.

Nominated for comedy awards in Australia and at home in Scotland, and even named Scottish Comedian of the Year, Bruce has appeared on ABC series Stuff the British Stole and numerous UK TV and Radio shows and brought acting skills to bear in the Steve Coogan film The Lost King.
