Glasgow Comedy Festival interview: Miles Jupp

Miles Jupp performed his third ever stand-up show in Glasgow, travelling through from Edinburgh, where he was a student. He honed his craft on the Scottish comedy circuit before finding success on television, film, the stage and radio. Despite being a one-man multi-media dynamo, he has found time to tour seven stand up tours. His latest, Songs of Freedom is a thoughtful and hilarious meander through subjects like hipsters, manners, identity, regrets and astronauts. Yes, he was Archie in Balamory. He was also John in The Thick of It. He gets around.

Miles Jupp: Songs of Freedom -The Lowry, Salford review

An enjoyable evening in the company of an intelligent man with an extremely polished set. But it never went beyond the norm and wonder whether it was, actually, a bit too casually beige.

Miles Jupp: From Balamory to the News Quiz and beyond

Miles Jupp interview

"I don't know what age I decided to be funny," he smiles, "probably about 15, which is just unhelpful behaviour really; trying to be funny when you're 15 is just asking teachers unpleasant questions when you're not very sensitive about others."
