Gary Little: At Large Comedy of the Week
-
- Юмор
Stand-up comedy from Glaswegian comedian Gary Little, who hilariously shows there’s always two ways of looking at things.
Growing up in the second poorest area of Scotland, Gary’s life seemed inevitably set to be marred by depression, addiction or incarceration.
The violence and social deprivation in Glasgow’s Springburn boiled down to survival of the fittest, where Gary’s honed wits kept him alive and prosperous.
But dodgy childhood deals led him to darker places - selling drugs to his friends, then their friends, and then… everyone’s friends.
In this episode, Gary reflects on the lies he swallowed as a child, including Uncle Elvis, and how being a people pleaser ultimately led to trouble he couldn’t talk his way out of, and eight years inside.
More true criminal than true crime, this series gives a different perspective on life before, behind and beyond bars.
Written and performed by Gary Little.
Produced by Julia Sutherland
A Dabster production for BBC Radio 4.
