Raymond Mearns | Living in the moment and being yourself with the audience

Raymond Mearns | Living in the moment and being yourself with the audience

By Graeme Kilgour

Raymond Mearns is a professional Scottish comedian and actor and has been telling jokes and stories on the stage in front of audiences for over 20 years.


In this episode, I wanted to gain an insight into what it takes to be stand up comedian. We talk all about how he prepares and creates material, how he deals with set backs, building a rapport with an audience and his experience in working with film director Ken Loach.


There is a lot of strong language and adult themes in this episode.


Raymond is preparing for the Edinburgh Festival and also does walking tours in Edinburgh 2 days a week.


If you would like to find out more about any of his up and coming gigs, book a walking tour or reach out to him then you can find all of this information on his website - http://raymondmearns.co.uk/
