Iain has a more deadpan approach to one liner comedy without lacking the confidence to deliver the punchlines that sets him apart from most on the Scottish comedy circuit.
He has been in the UK Pun Championships 3 times, managing semi finalist twice and has brought his 1 hour shows to festivals across the UK over the last 4 years including The Glasgow Comedy Festival, The Great Yorkshire Fringe and The Edinburgh Fringe.
