synchronise Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have been waiting to see a Scottish stand up comedian in Thailand for years and got so impatient that I decided to organise an event myself. There is a comedy club called Punchline, who are good but never seem to hear of a Billy Connolly style Scottish Comedian. Yes i am trying to publicise the event, but also wondering how I can get the word out more. Thai Visa seems a good start, but how else can I get the word out to Pattaya, Hua Him etc. though they will need to travel to Bangkok. The event is to promote the Scottish Business Group and also to support The gif of Happiness Foundation. A great Charity that is run by Ekie the Clown, who runs funny shows for disadvantaged kids, while supplying much needed medical supplied, toys etc. We have set up a facebook page called scottishcomedynightbangkok The event will be on Oct 5th, at the Rembrandt Hotel. Any advise would be appreciated. The Comedy Night of The Year Poster.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sounds like fun. I dint know the Scots were known for their sense of humour. With the exception of that Blether and smokie duo of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrendsd Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Punchline have run comedy nights in Thailand for a few years now. This used to be a regular event in Hua Hin but as far as I know stopped last year. If you Google Hot Property Hua Hin, the owner there Johnny used to help organize them here in HH if you are maybe interested in bringing the show here also? I went to a few, never had a Scottish comedian on as far as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please clarify who the comedians are. Thanks. "Billy Connolly style Scottish Comedian" Raymond Mearns has been a full time Comedian and Actor since June 2003. He has had a sell-out run at The Edinburgh Festival Fringe and then onto New York to The Improv and The Gotham Comedy Club, alongside the first ever New York Comedy Festival. In November 2005 Raymond returned to New York where he played to a sell-out crowd at The Laugh Factory with the Show “Laughs Across the Ocean” in collaboration with New York Comic, Danny Lobell. 2007 Also saw the release of Raymond’s first DVD which was recorded at the Stand Comedy Club during the Glasgow International Comedy Festival As of 2011 Raymond completed a successful mini tour of venues across Scotland; appeared in the new series of “Rab C Nesbitt” and in the BBC’s Scottish Soap Opera “River City”; and released his second DVD in April of 2011. He then went on tour with “Pete Doherty” at The Shepherds Bush Empire and various venues in the North of England, and continues to do live stand-up most weekends at various clubs across the UK and overseas. The inaptly named Gary Little burst onto the comedy scene in 2003. At six foot three Gary is an imposing presence on any stage. Gary is a regular on the UK comedy circuit with his humour described as honest, refreshing and in-yer-face with a wealth of material derived from a life lived to the full. With a post-graduate from the University of Hard Knocks, Gary has been round the block many more times than his audience.
